This thesis describes an investigation of the biosynthesis of camphor. Camphor, a bicyclic monoterpene, has been shown to be bio-synthesised from.geranyl pyrophosphate or its isomers (neryl pyrophosphate or linaloyl pyrophosphate) and several mechanisms have been proposed for this cyclisation proces...
