Bicyclic Monoterpenes

Bicyclic Monoterpenes — This category gathers bicyclic terpenoid compounds such as camphor, borneol, and verbenone, including single enantiomer forms as well as racemic mixtures. This group is part of the natural monoterpene family with a distinctive fused-ring structure.

Bicyclic Monoterpenes are used as starting materials or reference compounds in organic synthesis, natural product chemistry research, and stereochemistry studies, because their rigid bicyclic framework provides good conformational control. Sulfonated derivatives such as camphorsulfonic acid are also commonly used as chiral reagents or acid catalysts in asymmetric reactions in synthesis laboratories.

Example products in this collection: TCI C0016 5872-08-2 (+/-)-10-Camphorsulfonic Acid, TCI B6417 464-43-7 (+)-Borneol, TCI W0022 14215-86-2 (-)-Sweroside, TCI C0009 79-92-5 (+/-)-Camphene (contains ca. 20% Tricyclene), TCI V0072 1196-01-6 (-)-Verbenone, TCI C0010 464-49-3 (+)-Camphor, TCI T2579 1208985-45-8 (1S,4S,5S)-4,7,7-Trimethyl-6-thiabicyclo[321]octane, TCI C0011 76-22-2 (+/-)-Camphor.

Please note the optical configuration ((+), (-), or racemic) as well as related compounds that may accompany the product, for example the tricyclene content in camphene, as these affect the optical purity of synthesis results. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on the page of each item.
