Description
D- (+) -Camphoric acid (CAS: 124-83-4) is a naturally occurring cyclic dicarboxylic acid, belonging to the class of camphor derivatives. It has a chemical formula of C10H16O4 and a molecular weight of 200.23, with a chiral center exhibiting D- (+) -configuration. D- (+) -Camphoric acid (CAS: 124-83-4) is derived from camphor oxidation, characterized by a cyclopentane ring substituted with three methyl groups and two carboxyl groups (-COOH) at the 1st and 3rd positions. It is a white crystalline powder, slightly soluble in cold water, soluble in hot water, ethanol, ether and other organic solvents, and exhibits typical dicarboxylic acid chemical properties such as acidity and reactivity with bases, alcohols and amines.
