  • Applications

    Oxocamphor (CAS 6004-71-3) is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a fragrance/odorant component in perfumery. It can function as a chiral building block for specialty chemicals and as a starting material for camphor-derived compounds. In cosmetics and personal care, it may appear as a fragrance ingredient or fragrance intermediate. In coatings, inks, and household products, it can serve as a fragrance additive or scent carrier. It is also evaluated as a precursor for polymer and materials research involving camphor-derived structures.
