Application

(1R)-(−)-Camphorquinone can be used as a chiral starting material for the preparation of:
  • α-Hydroxycamphors by selective reduction of keto groups using various vegetables.
  • Camphor-1,2-diamine platinum(II) complexes for DNA interaction studies.
  • Camphoric anhydride by unsensitized photo-oxidation in the presence of oxygen and polar solvents.
  • Camphorquinone-based chiral homoallylic amine, which is reacted with aldehydes to produce homoallylic primary amines via imine formation followed by 2-azonia-Cope rearrangement.
