Application

(1R)-(+)-Camphor has been used as a standard during the enantioselective gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the constituents of Achillea ligustica essential oil.
It may also be used to synthesize:
  • {N,N′-bis[(1R,2R,4R)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]-1,2-ethanediamine}, a C2-symmetrical diamine
  • chiral oxazaborolidines
  • (-)-(1R,2R)-1,2-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethylnorbornane
Chiral intermediate and auxiliary.
