Camphorquinone, also known as 2,3-bornanedione, is a photoinitiator used in curing dental composites.[1]
Polymerization is induced very slowly by camphorquinone, so amines such as , , are generally added to increase the rate of curing.[1]
It absorbs very weakly at 468 nm (extinction coefficient of 40 M−1·cm−1) giving it a pale yellow color.[1] Photoexcitation results in nearly quantitative formation of its triplet state through intersystem crossing and very faint fluorescence.[2]
It can be hydrolyzed by the enzyme 6-oxocamphor hydrolase.
