Camphorsulfonic acid, sometimes abbreviated CSA or 10-CSA is an organosulfur compound. Like typical sulfonic acids, it is a relatively strong acid that is a colorless solid at room temperature and is soluble in water and a wide variety of organic substances.
This compound is commercially available. It can be prepared by sulfonation of camphor with sulfuric acid and acetic anhydride:[1]
Although this reaction appears to be a sulfonation of an unactivated methyl group, the actual mechanism is believed to involve a retro-semipinacol rearrangement, elimination of a proton from the tertiary carbocation to form an alkene, sulfonation of the alkene intermediate, and finally, semipinacol rearrangement to re-establish the ketone function.[2]
In organic synthesis, CSA and its derivatives can be used as resolving agents for chiral amines and other cations.[3][4] The synthesis of osanetant was an example of this. 3-bromocamphor-8-sulfonic acid was used in the synthesis of enantiopure devazepide.[5]
Camphorsulfonic acid is used in some pharmaceutical formulations, where is it referred to as camsilate or camsylate, including trimetaphan camsilate and lanabecestat camsylate.
