Chemistry of Natural Products MPC-104T UNIT-III A) Terpenoids STRUCTURAL ELUCIDATION OF CAMPHOR
CONTENTS Introduction Structural elucidation of camphor Reference
Introduction Camphor derived from the wood of camphor laurel(Cinnamomum camphora) and other releated trees of laurel family. Camphor is a bicyclic mono terpenoid. Camphor is a white, crystalline substance with strong odour and pangent taste. It is waxy and flammable substance. It is obtained through steam distillation, purification and sublimation of wood, twigs &bark of the tree. Melting point:180 0 c and boiling point is 2040 c It is optically active Used as Antiseptic, Muscle relaxant, Anti-inflammatory, Contraceptive, Cough suppressant, Insect repellent, Flavour in soaps & cosmetics
thus it can be concluded in the camphor it presence of six membered ring , ketone group, oxene group and it oxidized to form camphoric acid & camphoronic acid
