Norcamphor is an organic compound, classified as a bicyclic ketone. It is an analog of camphor, but without the three methyl groups. A colorless solid, it is used as a building block in organic synthesis. Norcamphor is prepared from norbornene via the 2-formate ester, which is oxidized. It is a useful precursor to norborneols.
