Norbornane (also known as bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) is an
bicyclic
compound. The compound is a prototype of a class of strained bicyclic hydrocarbons.
The compound was originally synthesized by reduction of norcamphor.[1]
The name norbornane is derived from bornane, which is 1,7,7-trimethylnorbornane, being a derivative of camphor (bornanone). The prefix nor refers to the stripping of the methyl groups from the parent molecule bornane.
