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

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

Title: The Green Oxidation of Borneol to Camphor Date Conducted: February 8‚ 2012 April 27‚ 2012 Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to perform a Green Oxidation of Borneol to Camphor‚ without the use of Chromium synthesis since it is toxic to the environment.

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

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

Experiment VI: Oxidation of Isoborneol with Bleach Purpose: In this experiment‚ Green chemical procedures were applied to oxidize isoborneol to camphor using bleach (NaOCl)‚ rather than the tradition chromium-based oxidizing reagents. The camphor was then purified using the process of sublimation. Procedure: Using a 50-mL Erlenmeyer flask‚ 1.316 g (8.5 mmol) isoborneol and 1.0 mL (17 mmol) glacial acetic acid were stirred vigorously with a magnetic stir plate. A volume of 1.7 mL NaOCl

From your answer to question 1‚ which of the two types of solids seem to have the stronger forces of attraction? Explain your answer. Camphor has a very strong odor which makes it easy for the particles in the soild leave it’s surface. The particle attraction to the soild is not very strong which means that the particles would leave the soild which then triggers a strong smell. 11. From
