L. Wu et al., Identification and structures of two main unknown components in the by-product from the hydration synthesis of camphor, CHIN J ST C, 19(6), 2000, pp. 440-443
Two main unknown components in the by-product of camphor hydration synthesi
s were separated and identified by fine fractional distillation and spectro
scopic analyses. The components with different ratios of unknown components
A and B were collected by the further distillation. The combined spectral
results of GC, MS, GC-MS and C-13 NMR of the collected samples revealed tha
t A is exo-2,2,3-trimethylbicyclo[2,2,1]heptane, and B is endo-2,2,3-trimet
hylbicyclo[2,2,1]heptane.
