Bicyclic monoterpenoids are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. Thus, (+)-camphor is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule (+)-camphor is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). (+)-camphor is a bitter, camphor, and herbal tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as sugar apple, sunflower, fennel, and cardamom, which makes (+)-camphor a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. -camphor (+)-2-Bornanone (+)-bornan-2-one (+)-camphor (+/-)-camphor (1R,4R)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one (1R)-(+)-Camphor (1R)-1,7,7-Trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one (r)-(+)-camphor (r)-camphor 1,7,7-trimethyl-bicyclo-[2,2,1]heptane-2-one 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]-2-heptanone (camphor) 1,7,7-Trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one Alcanfor bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, 1,7,7-trimethyl- Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, 1,7,7-trimethyl-, (1R)- CAM Camphor Camphor usp Camphor, (+)- CAMPHOR, (1R,4R)-(+)- Camphor(d) D-(+)-camphor d-2-Bornanone d-2-Camphanone Japanese camphor C10H16O 152.2334 152.120115134 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one camphor 464-49-3 CC1(C)C2CCC1(C)C(=O)C2 InChI=1S/C10H16O/c1-9(2)7-4-5-10(9,3)8(11)6-7/h7H,4-6H2,1-3H3 DSSYKIVIOFKYAU-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids.
