Camphor is colorless to white waxy crystalline powder. It is flammable and has a strong aroma or mothball-like smell. Camphor Oil is extracted from the wood of camphor laurel. It has properties such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, an insect repellant, in various topical skin preparations, and in embalming fluids.
Camphor is produced from alpha-pinene, which is abundant in the oils of coniferous trees and can be distilled from turpentine produced as a side product of chemical pulping. With acetic acid as the solvent and with catalysis by a strong acid, alpha-pinene is converted to isononyl acetate.
