Abstract

Natural compounds are pivotal sources for synthesizing a vast array of biologically active substances in chemistry. Camphor is one of these substances, and both enantiomers are readily obtainable and play significant roles in various synthetic and therapeutic applications. This mini-review provides information on a few synthetic routes for camphor production that have been documented over time. It presents several rearrangements that this chemical and its derivatives can undergo to showcase possible starting points for new compounds that may have biological activity.
