Phenol-Camphor

New enantiopure NHCs derived from camphor.

A new class of enantiopure carbene precursors based on cheap camphor has been developed, and a restricted rotation of one N-substituent due to the C-10 methyl group of the camphor skeleton has been found; in situ prepared corresponding carbenes revealed the same behaviour.

Introduction Camphor is used as a proprietary preparation, most often as a 20% solution in arachis oil, and is applied to the skin for the supposed relief of muscle pain and symptoms of the common cold. Intoxication is usually accidental and, although reports are rare, Silbert (1973) drew attention to the risk of camphor poisoning in children. Symptoms following ingestion include tremors, hallu...

(E)-3-(1-Naphthyl­amino)­methyl­ene-(+)-camphor

In the crystal structure of the title ketoamine {systematic name: (E)-1,7,7-trimethyl-3-[(1-naphthyl-amino)-methyl-idene]bicyclo-[2.2.1]heptan-2-one}, C(21)H(23)NO, there are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Both mol-ecules have an E configuration about the alkene function. The main conformational difference between the mol-ecules is in the orientation of the plane of the naph...
