Monoterpenes are widely used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industry as active components of drugs and ingredients of artificial flavours and fragrances [1]. Camphene is converted to isobomeol and bomeol that are used in formulation of soaps, cosmetic perfumes and medicines, as well as in the industrial production of camphor [2], which is used as an odorant/flavorant in pharmaceutical, household and industrial products [7]. Traditionally, homogeneous catalysts, e.g sulphuric acid, are used, but the effluent disposal leads to environmental problems and economical inconveniences. These problems can be overcome by the use of solid acid catalysts. USY zeolite [3], heteropolyacids [4,5] and sulfonic acid surface-functionalised silica [6] have also been used for the camphene hydration.

In the industry of insecticides, one of the central issues is to develop products that are not harmful to the environment and to human health. It has been shown that a-pinene, camphor and limonene can be good natural repellents for insects [155]. Besides the use of geraniol in the industry of fragrances, this compoxmd has also proven effective as a mosquito repellent [156, 157]. Terpene halides, 3-carene, and toxaphene, a chlorinated camphene, are important for agriculture because of their use as pesticides [158, 159]. However, especially for toxaphene, several restriction issues have been raised because of its pollutant capacity and carcinogenic potential in humans [159-161]. 

Camphor is a strongly scented solid that is isolated from evergreen trees in Asia. It is used as a spice as well as for medicinal purposes. Camphene is a minor constituent in many natural oils, such as pine oil and ginger oil. It is used in the preparation of fragrances.
