Borneol is a bicyclic monoterpenoid alcohol widely used in pharmaceutical, traditional medicine, flavor and fragrance industries. It is used as an active ingredient in topical preparations, cooling agents, aromatherapy products, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It is also used in the preparation of borneol derivatives and as a chiral auxiliary in organic synthesis.
