Physical Properties

Property	Description
Appearance	White, semi-transparent crystalline solid
Odor	Strong, camphor-like aroma (cool and refreshing)
Melting Point	208-210°C
Boiling Point	212-213°C (at 1 atm)

Solubility	Soluble in ethanol, diethyl ether, and chloroform; slightly soluble in water

Chemical Properties

1. Acidity/Basicity:
   • Weakly acidic due to the hydroxyl group; reacts with strong bases (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to form salts.
2. Oxidation:
   • Oxidized to camphor (a ketone) under strong oxidizing conditions (e.g., chromic acid):Borneol[O]Camphor
3. Esterification:
   • Reacts with carboxylic acids or acid chlorides to form bornyl esters (e.g., bornyl acetate, a common fragrance compound):Borneol+CH3COOHH+Bornyl acetate+H2O
4. Volatility:
   • Substances easily sublimate (transition from solid to gas) at room temperature, releasing characteristic odors.
5. Isomerism:
   • Exists in enantiomeric forms: (+)-borneol (natural form, derived from plants) and (-)-borneol (synthetic).

Applications

1. Pharmaceuticals:
   • Used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects.
   • Ingredients in topical creams, balms, and nasal inhalants for relieving pain, cough, and congestion.
   • Enhances drug penetration through the skin (permeation enhancer).
2. Fragrance and Flavor Industry:
   • Aroma components in perfumes, soaps, and cosmetics (e.g., lavender, rosemary-type fragrances).
   • Flavoring agent in food and beverages (e.g., candies, chewing gum), though regulated due to toxicity concerns.
3. Industrial Uses:
   • Production of bornyl esters (e.g., bornyl acetate for insect repellents and plastics).
   • Solvent in coatings, inks, and lacquers.
   • Ingredient in mothballs and household pesticides.
4. Biomedical Research:
   • Studied for potential anticancer, antimicrobial, and neuroprotective activities.

Safety and Hazards
Hazard Summary

• Toxicity:
  • Acute Exposure: Oral LD50 in rats: ~1,940 mg/kg (moderately toxic). Inhalation or ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, headache, and convulsions.
  • Skin/Eye Contact: May cause irritation; prolonged contact may lead to dermatitis.
  • Chronic Effects: Repeated exposure may harm the liver and kidneys.
• Environmental Risks:
  • Low solubility in water, but toxic to aquatic organisms (e.g., fish and algae) at high concentrations.
• Fire and Explosion:
  • Flammable solid; vapor-air mixtures may explode at high temperatures. Combustion produces carbon monoxide and irritating fumes.

Safety Precautions

• Personal Protection:
  • Wear gloves, safety goggles, and a dust mask when handling powders or crystals.
• Storage and Handling:
  • Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas, away from heat, flames, and oxidizers.
  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes; use in a fume hood for large-scale operations.
