1932 J. L. Simonsen Terpenes II. v. 221The saturated dicyclic hydrocarbon, camphane, C10H16, is of outstanding importance, since it is the parent hydrocarbon of the camphor group.
1952 Chem. &Engin. News 3 Mar. 930/3The parent of borneol and camphor..is called bornane rather than camphane because of conflicting names beginning with camph-.
1839–47 Todd Cycl. Anat. III. 152/6Camphor..is now found to be an oxide of *camphene.
1873 Watts Fownes'Chem. 779A crystallised hydrocarbon, called camphene.
1863–79 Watts Dict. Chem. I. 724A camphene often yields several isomeric modifications by treatment with different acids, or by repeated treatment with the same acid. The new camphenes thus produced are called camphenes of the second order, or sometimes *campherenes. Another class, called camphenes of the third order, or sometimes *camphilenes, are obtained by the action of lime or baryta at high temperatures on the hydrochlorates of other camphenes.

1863–79 Watts Dict. Chem. I. 726The several bodies to which the name *camphol has been applied, are isomeric but not identical, being especially distinguished by their different rotatory power.
1876 Harley Mat.Med. 703A solid crystalline camphor, called borneol or camphol.
1896 M. O. Forster in Jrnl. Chem. Soc. LXIX. i. 39The isomeric lactone will be called *campholid, the termination olid indicating, according to systematic nomenclature, a compound of lactonic character.
1938 Thorpe's Dict. Appl. Chem. (ed. 4) II. 247/2Reduction of camphoric anhydride with sodium amalgam..or catalytically..gives α-campholide, whilst reduction of β-methyl hydrogen camphorate gives β-campholide, m.p. 218°–220°.
