Chemical formula: C 10 H 16 O. Also known as camphor. In the medical field, it is called camphor. A type of monoterpene ketone. (1) D-isomer: Obtained by steam distillation of camphor wood chips. Transparent, colorless plate-like crystals. Sublimable substance with a distinctive odor. Melting point: 179°C. Used as a cardiac stimulant, but the intermediate product of oxidation in vivo is called vitacamphor and has a particularly strong effect. It is also used in cosmetics and molecular weight measurement by the Rust method. (2) DL-isomer: Organically synthesized from α-pinene. Melting point: 179°C. Optically inactive, but has the same physiological effects as the D-isomer. Both are used as plasticizers for celluloid, mothballs for clothing, and in fragrances.

化学式 C10H16O 。ショウノウともいう。医薬分野ではカンフルという。モノテルペンケトンの一種。 (1) D体 クスノキの材片を水蒸気蒸留して得られる。無色透明の板状晶。特臭をもつ昇華性物質。融点 179℃。強心剤として使われるが,特に生体酸化中間体はビタカンファーと呼ばれ,強力な作用をもつ。このほか香粧品,ラスト法分子量測定にも用いられる。 (2) DL体 α-ピネンから有機合成される。融点 179℃。光学的に不活性であるが,D体と生理作用は同じである。いずれも可塑剤としてセルロイドに,また衣服の防虫剤や薫香に用いられる。
