  • Applications

    Campherenone (CAS 18530-02-4) is a bicyclic terpenoid ketone bearing a conjugated enone motif, making it valuable primarily as a synthetic intermediate and asymmetric building block: it readily undergoes Michael additions, Diels–Alder reactions, epoxidation, allylic oxidation, and selective reductions to access alcohols, lactones, lactams, and other stereodefined terpenoid derivatives; in fragrance/cosmetics work its camphoraceous scaffold can be leveraged as a modifier or precursor to cool, woody–herbal, balsamic notes in experimental formulations (candles, soaps, personal care); it also serves as an analytical reference, a substrate for screening organo/metal catalysts in asymmetric methods, and a probe for mechanistic studies, with use focused on research and intermediate roles rather than as an approved end-use active or additive.
