Uses and applications
What the substance is used for, by industry and function
Reported uses (ppm):
Table: Reported uses (ppm): (Flavor and Extract Manufacturers' Association) [Table#4225].
Perfumery, chemical esters.
The repellence of the plant-derived bicyclic monoterpenoid isoborneol on subterranean termites was assessed in short-term laboratory bioassays. Depending on concentration, application of isoborneol to different soil types was efficient in creating repellent soil barriers, which were not penetrated by workers of Reticulitermes santonensis De Feytaud or R. flavipes Kollar within 2 wk after adding the substance to the substrate. Isoborneol-treated barriers did not affect termite survival. The bioavailability of the active ingredient decreased with increasing clay content of the soil. Evaporation of isoborneol from treated soil increased with increasing particle size of the substrate and could be reduced by covering the soil surface.

Industries and functions
Cosmetic ingredient, INCI name ISOBORNEOL(perfuming)
Functional uses
- Flavouring and nutrient
- Fragrance
Cosmetic functions
- Perfuming
How it is made
By hydrolysis of isobornyl acetate, or by catalytic reduction of camphor (both d- and l-isomers), the optically inactive compound can be prepared by treating camphene with 1:1 mixture of sulfuric acid and glacial acetic acid and then hydrolyzing the isobornyl acetate.
