(1S)-(–)-Camphor is a monoterpene found in various plant extracts, including P. suffructicosa with acaricidal activity. It exhibits fumigant toxicity against T. putrescentiae when used at a concentration of 10.45 mg. It is sometimes used as a plasticizer in the manufacture of celluloid and other plastic materials. The chiral nature of (1S)-(–)-Camphor makes it useful in certain specialized scientific research applications, especially in the study of chiral molecules and reactions. For example, it is sometimes used as a ligand or template in asymmetric catalysis to induce chirality into other compounds. Additionally, it serves as a model compound for vibrational (like IR or Raman) and electronic (like UV-Vis or NMR) spectroscopic studies. As a naturally occurring volatile organic compound, (1S)-(–)-Camphor can be used in studies investigating the ecological impact of such compounds or their interactions with pollutants.
