Courtney Smith Organic Chem. II Lab February 29, 2016 Synthesis of Camphor Koeck Abstract Within this experiment, one is oxidizing a secondary alcohol, isoborneol, to a ketone, called camphor. In order to purify the camphor, sublimation is performed due to the fact that camphor changes from a solid to a vapor when heated. To measure the purity of the camphor sublime, the melting point is measured. As a result, the camphor sample will have a melting point ranging between 179 ºC to 212 ºC. Introduction Camphor is a ketone that is found in the evergreen plant, cinnamomum camphora. The substance is waxy with an odor. The medicinal use of camphor has been utilized for centuries. Camphor has been used to relive a cough; the substance can be found …show more content…

The advantages of using sublimation is due to the fact that no solvent is required and keeps the loss of the substance to a minimum (Lehman, 2009). Methods & Materials The following experiment procedure was followed according to Multiscale Operational Organic Chemistry (Lehman, 2009). One will begin the oxidation reaction of isoborneol by combining 3.86 grams of isoborneol with 2 mL of glacial acid, then adding 4.4 mL of bleach to the flask. In a separtory funnel, add 40 mL of bleach to the funnel; then add the bleach from the funnel into the flask over a 10-minute period with continuous swirling. Once complete parafilm the flask and mix for 30 minutes. During this 30-minute period test the reaction for excess hypochlorite by using starch- iodide paper. After the reaction is complete, cool the mixture to below 5 ºC and then collect the product via vacuum filtration. Then dry the product at room temperature, weigh and measure the melting point. Lastly, one will purify the product via sublimation and once complete measure the melting point. …show more content…

Meniscus Temp. Melting Point 3.860 g 1.925 g 186.6 ºC 190.2 ºC 193.8 ºC As a result, one may conclude that experiment was successful and the substance was purified. The final percent yield was measured to be approximately 49.87 %. The melting point of pure camphor is 179 ºC and isoborneol is measured at 212 ºC. Discussion According to the results, the isoborneol was able to oxidized to the ketone, camphor. The melting point of the product from the sublimation can be determined to be purified camphor. One can potentially be concluded that the camphor was synthesized but since isoborneol can also be sublimes in elevated temperatures, the camphor product may contain some residual isoborneol affecting the final melting point to be higher than expected. Conclusion In conclusion, isoborneol was oxidized into a ketone and then purified via sublimation. The final percent yield was approximately 49.87%

I will then pour water into the beaker to 500ml. 16. I will put the thermometer into the beaker and stir the water, leave the thermometer till the temperature stays constant.-this will give the heated water temperature. 17. I will repeat the same method from step 3 – just attaching the chrome tap to the hosepipe 18.

After that, put an aluminum wire into the beaker, and after a certain period of time the solution gains color. To finish the reaction, 5 drops of 6M of Hydrochloric acid is added into the beaker to clean the solution, which means that acid dissolves all salts of aluminum that is on the solution. After finishing the chemical process, collect and use the Butcher funnel to wash the cooper because it is going to be used to a vacuum filtration. After finishing the filtration, measure the weight of the sample and dry it. Finally, Do again these two steps until notice that the subtractions of these masses are about 0.005 g, and then arrange all the chemical

One small drop of Cyclohexanone from a vial containing 150 mg of ketone. The tube was warmed on a sand bath until the brown oxides of nitrogen are emanating from the nitric acid. The solution was allowed to boil until it was almost clear. Then the tube was removed and the Cyclohexanone was added drop by drop within a time period of about one minute and it was allowed to boil again until it turned clear. The tube was then allowed to cool at room temperature and fine crystals were observed.

It was then washed off with ether after the drying process was finished and allowed 5-10 minutes for the drying of the ether solution. ? M HCl was added drop wise to tube 2 to neutralization, while testing the solution with litmus paper. A boiling stick was then added to the tube and heated cautiously to bring most of the solid carboxylic acid into solution. The tube was then allowed to cool slowly to room temperature then cooled in ice. The solvent was removed and the residue recrystallized from boiling water.

ZPFe (3 mol%) was added to a mixture of a benzoyl chloride (10 mmoL) and an aromatic compound (10 mmoL). The reaction mixture was stirred for the appropriate reaction times at 80 °C (Table 2). After completion of the reaction (monitored by thin-layer chromatography, TLC), the mixture was diluted with Et2O and filtered. The organic layer was washed with 10% NaHCO3 solution and then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the product purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give the corresponding pure aryl

The retention time for the product peak, which was the second peak observed on the GC, was 1.420 minutes. This was similar to the peak for methyl benzoate, which according to the supplements, should have occurred at 1.24 minutes. It was hence confirmed that the product formed was indeed methyl benzoate. Another peak with retention time .387 minutes was also observed, which was the peak for the diethyl ether added during the extraction of ester.
