The invention relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis, in particular to a refining method of a crude product of dextroborneol, which comprises the following steps: sequentially carrying out a
rearrangement reaction, an
esterification reaction, a salt forming reaction, an
alkaline hydrolysis reaction and post-treatment refining on the crude product of dextroborneol in the presence of a
solvent and a catalyst on the basis of a
reaction product to obtain a refined product of dextroborneol, in the refined dextroborneol product, the content of dextroborneol is greater than or equal to 98.0%, the content of L-
borneol is less than or equal to 1.0%, the content of isoborneol is less than or equal to 0.15%, the content of
natural camphor is less than or equal to 0.15%, and the content of other impurities is less than or equal to 0.10%. The method has the advantages that the isoborneol structure can be selectively destroyed under mild conditions, impurities are effectively removed through the esterification-salification-
alkaline hydrolysis three-step reaction, and the purity and yield of dextroborneol are remarkably improved.
