Isobornyl acetate

Isobornyl acetate is an organic compound consisting of the acetate ester or the terpenoid isoborneol.

It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant pine-like scent, and it is produced on a multi-ton scale for this purpose.

Hydrolysis of isobornyl acetate gives isoborneol, a precursor to camphor.
