CHAPTER 4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Identification of camphor and menthol using gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC – MS) In this study‚ the presence of menthol and camphor were determined from 5 different locally produced medicinal topical ointment samples. Sample of Vick® VapoRub® and Hurix’s Massage Balm were purchased from local pharmacies‚ Bunga Cengkih Balm and Serai Balm samples were purchased from the grocery shop. Buah Pala Balm sample was purchased from the night market

occurred so fast that much of the solvent is contained in the crystals. So the actual melting point is nearly impossible to reach‚ and 10C-15C variation is acceptable. Questions 1). The infrared reading comparison between camphor and borneol+isoborenol is that camphor does not have a OH-stretch at 3400‚ but it does have a C=O stretch around 1700-1750 that borenol and isoborneol doesn’t have. The IR readings of isoborneol and borneol look very similar the major difference is that isoborneol has

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.

production. However‚ isoborneol is more toxic than borneol and thus is not favored regarding the safety issue of drugs. But how can we synthesize borneol in a way that gives more borneol than toxic isoborneol? An experiment of making borneol from camphor (FIGURE-3) is performed in two different methods‚ Sodium Borohydride Reduction and Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley Reduction‚ to compare the relative product ratio of borneol to isoborneol. The concept of reduction and also oxidation‚ the opposite procedure

Theory‚ Reactions‚ and Mechanisms In this lab‚ Borneol will be oxidized to camphor in a common reaction known as the Jones Oxidation Reaction. It is true that oxidation reactions subtract electrons‚ lowering its oxidation state. However in organic chemistry‚ a more detailed explanation of the oxidation reaction is appropriate for

experiment was to perform a reduction reaction on the ketone group of camphor to the OH group on isoborneol. In order to successfully synthesis the reactant to the product‚ NaBH4 was used as the main reagent to reduce the carbonyl double bond. One believes the formation of isoborneol was successfully due to the product’s percent yield‚ IR‚ and melting point. During the lab‚ .077 grams of isoborneol was yielded from the camphor reduction. In result‚ .077 g compared to an theoretical yield of .102

from camphor via a reduction reaction. Therefore‚ the hypothesis of this lab is that camphor will be produced in the oxidation reaction and isoborneol will be the product of the reduction reaction because of steric hindrance. For the oxidation step‚ a reflux will be done and then a microscale reflux for the reduction step. The products will be confirmed using Infrared spectroscopy‚ the chromic acid test‚ 2‚4-DNP test and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The results of this experiment show that camphor was produced
