Description
Camphor‑10‑sulfonic acid (often abbreviated as CSA or DL‑Camphorsulfonic Acid) is an organic sulfonic acid derived from camphor, appearing as a white to off‑white crystalline powder with good solubility in water. It is widely used in organic synthesis, chiral resolution, catalysis, and as a reagent or intermediate in pharmaceutical and fine chemical production. In synthetic chemistry, this compound may serve as an acidic catalyst or resolving agent for amines and other functional groups.| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
