Synthetic camphor is a type of aromatic material that has been manufactured synthetically. It falls under the category of colorless, odorless, and crystalline solid substance with a melting point (mp) of 68°C to 71°C. Synthetic Camphor can be degraded into simpler compounds by mild oxidizing agents like hydrogen peroxide. In pharmaceutical industries, it is used as a preservative and antioxidant in various products. Synthetic Camphor has been also extensively used for the preparation of other chiral compounds like CINNAMALDEHYDEs or CARVACROL. In the food industry, synthetic camphor has shown to be effective against termites when mixed with white sugar since its odor can't be detected by the termite's olfactory system. It is also used as an agent which creates mild fragrance in some foods and beverages such as ice cream, chocolate, etc.
