TCI C1251 (-)-Camphor (CAS 464-48-2) is a classic bicyclic terpenoid ketone offered as a chiral building block for asymmetric synthesis. Its rigid bornane framework provides a well-defined steric environment that reliably directs stereochemical outcomes in enolate alkylations, aldol reactions, and cycloadditions. It also serves as the starting point for widely used chiral auxiliaries such as camphorsulfonic acid and camphorsultam derivatives. Supplied by AMI Scientific in a 5 g pack, the material should be kept tightly closed because it sublimes readily at ambient conditions.
