Camphor potash

It results, artificially, from the treatment of carvone by potash or phosphoric acid, and by heating camphor with iodine. 

A powder which burns with a green flame is obtained by the addition of nitrate of baryta to chlorate of potash, nitrate of potash, acetate of copper. A white flame is made by the addition of sulfide of antimony, sulfide of arsenic, camphor. Red by the mixture of lampblack, coal, bone ash, mineral oxide of iron, nitrate of strontia, pumice stone, mica, oxide of cobalt. Blue with ivory, bismuth, alum, zinc, copper sulfate purified of its sea water [sic]. Yellow by amber, carbonate of soda, sulfate of soda, cinnabar. It is necessary in order to make the colors come out well to animate the combustion by adding chlorate of potash.15...

Carvacrol — Methyl-paraisopropyl-metaphenol — Cg Hi (C Hs) (,) (OH)(3)(CH3)3CH(g)—an isomere of thymol, whose constitution differs in the position of the oxhj -dryl group, exists in many essential oils and is obtained by the action of iodin upon camphor by the action of potash in fusion upon cymene sulfonic acid, CioHn SOiH or by a transposition of the atoms of another isomere, carvol, which exists in caraway oil. It is an oil, boiling at 233°-a3o° (451°.4-45o° F.). Heated with P2O5, it yields orthocresol. 

Pinene forms with one molecule of dry hydrogen chloride, an addition-product, which is called artificial camphor (m.p. 125°) on account of the fact that it resembles camphor in appearance and odor. When this compound is heated with alcoholic potash or with a mixture of anhydrous sodium acetate and glacial acetic acid, hydrogen chloride is eliminated and camphene, an isomer of pinene, is formed. Camphene, the structure of which is not known, melts at 50° it is converted into camphor CioHieO (649) when oxidized with chromic acid. d-Camphene is found in ginger Z-camphene, in turpentine and in citronella and other essential oils.
