Introduction
Borneol is an organic compound with the chemical name of 2-isococypterol. It is a white crystalline or granular substance with a refreshing minty flavor.
Borneol has some important uses. Borneol is also commonly used in the preparation of ester fragrances, camphor, oxidized borneol and cooling agents, etc., which have the effect of regulating body odor, refreshing and refreshing.
There are two main ways to prepare borneol. One is extracted from fatty oils of natural plants, such as turpentine or pephtha. The other is obtained by chemical synthesis, from nonadiene through oxidation reaction to obtain nonanone, and then through reduction reaction to obtain borneol.
Safety information for borneol: It is a relatively safe compound, but it should still be used with caution. Inhaling too much borneol may have an irritating effect on the respiratory system, leading to symptoms such as coughing and difficulty breathing. Long-term exposure may also cause allergic reactions.
