Chemistry & Uses

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Isobornyl acetate is present in every natural raw material that contains Bornyl acetate (Scots Pine EO among others). Thus, it can easily be extracted in its natural state.

Isomerism :

Isobornyl acetate contains an asymmetric carbon. However, it is still the racemic mixture that is used in perfumery. Geranyl acetate, Neryl acetate, Linalyl acetate and Terpenyl acetate are isomers of Isobornyl acetate. However, the first two are closer to pear and rose, while the other two are reminiscent of Bergamot EO.

Synthesis precursor :

Isobornyl acetate is used as an intermediate to the synthesis of Camphor.

Synthesis route :

Isobornyl acetate is an ester synthesized in two possible ways: either by esterification of acetic acid or acetic anhydride with Isoborneol, in the presence of an acid catalyst, or by treatment of Camphene in an acid medium that contains acetic acid. Following this process, a racemic mixture of the two isomers of this ester is obtained.

Stability :

acetates may form acetic acid through time

Other comments :

The smell of Isobornyl acetate is close to natural pines, as it is a blend of the facets we can find in these extracts : from the balsamic facet of Scots Pine Absolute to the camphorated facet of Siberian Pine EO. It remains more artificial and foody.
