Borneol To Camphor
Oxidation of Borneol to Camphor Objectives: The purpose of this experiment was to use oxidation to convert (1S)-(-)-borneol into (1S)-(-)-camphor, which was done via the use of reagents such as glacial acetic acid and sodium hypochlorite and laboratory techniques learned in previous labs. Afterward, the final desired product was obtained, and to characterize and ensure the purity of the product, further lab techniques were implemented.

Limiting Reagent: 1S - (-) - borneol.
Procedure Observation 1 - 1. In a 10 mL round bottom flask, a stir bar, 0.3 g of Borneol, 1 mL of acetone, and 0.3 mL of glacial acetic acid were added. Following that, a reflux condenser was attached to the round bottom flask, and the round bottom flask was immersed in a water bath. 0.3618 g of borneol was used.
After the borneol, acetone, and glacial acetic acid were added to the round bottom flask, the solution …show more content…
What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart'? The mixture was let cool to room temperature and then transferred to a centrifuge tube. To ensure that all the mixture was transferred to the centrifuge tube, 0.5-1.0 mL of dichloromethane was used to rinse the round bottom flask. Another 1.0-2.0 mL of dichloromethane was also added to the centrifuge tube. The dichloromethane and the mixture were mixed via a pipette. As soon as the dichloromethane was added to the mixture, 3 layers were noticed. The bottom layer (organic layer) was the smallest, and the top layer had the most liquid. After the mixture was mixed, 2 layers were presented. The bottom layer was a yellow color, and the top layer had a cloudy
