10-Camphorsulfonic acid [Not For Sale]
ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 certified · Supplying laboratories and industry since 2000 · Certificate of Analysis with every batch
10-Camphorsulfonic acid is a strong organic sulfonic acid derived from camphor, widely used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and pharmaceutical manufacturing due to its high solubility in polar solvents and stability under acidic conditions. It is also employed in chiral resolution processes and as a proton source in reactions requiring mild acidity. This chemical has a CAS number of 3144-16-9, with the molecular formula C10H16O4S and a molecular weight of 232.30 g/mol. It is typically stored at ambient conditions but requires careful handling due to its hazardous classification (Signal Word: Danger). Molekula supplies 10-Camphorsulfonic acid from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
