Цікавий факт
Marco Polo reported that the finest camphor came from Fansuri, which referred to Barus in present-day Sumatra. In the Chinese market in 1848, first-quality Barus camphor sold wholesale at 2000 dollars a picul, against 20 dollars for first-quality ordinary Chinese camphor.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
Natural D-borneol is extracted from fresh branches and leaves of Cinnamomum camphora or Dryobalanops aromatica. L-borneol is processed from the sublimation of Blumea balsamifera. Synthetic borneol is a racemic borneol prepared by chemical synthesis from turpentine and camphor. Borneol can be synthesized by reduction of camphor by the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction, which is a reversible process. For flavour use, a racemic mixture of camphor is the starting material, which gives a racemic mixture of borneol and isoborneol. Reduction of camphor with sodium borohydride, which is fast and irreversible, gives instead the diastereomer isoborneol. The chirality can be controlled by changing the chirality of camphor: (+)-camphor gives (−)-isoborneol and (+)-borneol. Chemically synthesized borneol is not optically pure and contains four stereoisomers: (+)-isoborneol, (−)-isoborneol, (−)-borneol and (+)-borneol.
