Green Oxidation of Borneol to Camphor Abstract: This lab converted borneol to camphor using a green oxidation. Sodium hypochlorite was used instead of the less “green” Jones reagent. Borneol was mixed with glacial acetic acid and oxidized with sodium hypochlorite to make crude camphor. The crude camphor was purified by sublimation. The final product was characterized by obtaining a melting point and inferred spectroscopy. The experiment was carried out to see if bleach could oxidize borneol

Keeping it Liquid Introduction: Phase changes within our world play a key role in how substances can be manipulated‚ and formed. A phase change is‚ “a change from one state (solid or liquid or gas) to another without a change in chemical composition” (Collins Italian Dictionary‚ 2016). Moreover‚ in this experiment‚ the use of tert-butanol was needed to perform phase changes. Tert-butanol is colorless oily with sharp odors‚ mixes with water‚ and has a freezing point of 78 degrees Farenheit (PubChem

The physical properties studied are odour‚ hardness‚ melting point‚ solubility in water and solubility in 2-propanol. It is observed that some of the physical properties of sodium chloride are no odours‚ hard‚ a high melting point‚ soluble in water and insoluble in 2-propanol; some of the physical properties of camphor are a strong odour‚ soft‚ a low melting point‚ insoluble in water and soluble in

Experimental Part 1: Reaction First the glassware apparatus for the reaction was set up. 3.861-grams of isoborneol‚ 2.21-mL of glacial acetic acid‚ and 4.39-mL of 6% NaOCl solution were mixed in a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Another 35-mL of 6% NaOCl solution was added to a separatory funnel and supported over the flask. The NaOCl in the sep funnel was slowly added into the Erlenmeyer flask with vigorous swirling‚ approximately 2-mL every 30 seconds until all the NaOCl from the sep funnel had been

18th and 19th century‚ it became well known that chemicals such as camphor can induce seizures to help with mental illness.1 In 1934‚ a Hungarian psychiatrist‚ Ladislaw Meduna‚ empirically pursued his theory on the relationship between seizures and schizophrenia using camphor oil. He wanted to see if he could cure a patient with catatonic schizophrenia by inducing epilepsy in the patient through injecting the patient with the camphor oil. After several of these treatment sessions‚ the patient was reportedly
