This alcohol which results together with borneol upon reduction of camphor, and which, according to the latest views, is regarded as stereoisomeric with borneol, can also be obtained upon hydration of camphene.4) According to Bertram and Walbaum it melts at 212° in the sealed tube. Its boiling point cannot be ascertained since the alcohol begins to sublime before the boiling temperature has been reached. Its phenylurethane melts at 138 to 139° and regenerates Isoborneol when treated with alcoholic potassa. When heated with dehydrating agents camphene results. The reactions by means of which isoborneol can be distinguished from borneol have already been discussed under the latter.

bornyl alcohol, a secondary alcohol of the bicyclic terpene group. Borneol has an endo configuration; its isomer, called isoborneol, has an exo configuration. [The (CH3)2C group is located outside the plane of the ring.] Borneol and isoborneol contain an asymmetric carbon atom (denoted by an asterisk), and therefore each of them exists in two optically active forms and one inactive racemic form (-, +, and ±). Borneo camphor, (+)-borneol, is contained in the secretions of the tree Dryobanalops camphora, which grows on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, as well as in rosemary, lavender, and camphor oils. The acetate form, (-)-borneol, is contained in the coniferous needle of the Siberian pine. Both (+)-borneol and (-)-borneol have a melting point Tm = 208.5° C, boiling point Tb = 212° C, and angle of rotation of the plane of polarization [α]D20 = ±37.9°; and both sublimate. The racemate (±)-borneol melts at 210.3° C. Both (-)-borneol and (±)-borneol are components of valerian oil....
