ISO Borneol Acetate

ISO Borneol Acetate, or Isoborneol acetate, is a chemical compound derived from borneol, a bicyclic organic compound. Borneol is a natural organic compound found in many essential oils, particularly in plants like camphor, rosemary, and ginger. Isoborneol acetate is synthesized from borneol through acetylation, where an acetyl group (-COCH3) is added to the hydroxyl (-OH) group of borneol.

Isoborneol acetate is often used in perfumery and fragrance industries due to its pleasant scent, which can be described as woody, camphoraceous, and slightly floral. It adds depth and complexity to fragrances and is used as a fixative to prolong the scent of other volatile compounds in perfumes.

Additionally, isoborneol acetate finds applications in organic synthesis and as a precursor for the synthesis of various other compounds due to its functional group reactivity. It serves as a building block in the production of pharmaceuticals, flavors, and fragrances.
