Reduction of Camphor Lab

1) Provide a mechanism that accounts for the formation of both Borneol and Isoborneol.

2) In lecture we have consistently discussed the fact when we add to a sp^2 hybridized carbon we normally see no facial preference. Use your mechanism to explain why more isoborneol is formed from the reduction reaction. How would you expect the product distribution to change if methyl groups are missing from the camphor structure.

    Please give detailed answers to the pre and post lab questions. Thank you! NUCLEOPHILIC DISPLACEMENT- FORMATION OF AN ETHER BY AN SN2 REACTION Bond formation by use of an SN2 reaction is very important for organic and biological synthesis. Many new bonds formed make use of this versatile reaction pathway. In this reaction, one partner is the nucleophile and the other partner is the electrophile. The electrophile will have a leaving group that will be lost in the reaction. In...

    PREPARATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS - Fischer Esterification Reactions Q: Calculate the expected mass of both methyl salicylate and aspirin assuming 100% yield. EXPERIMENT7 PREPARATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS Fischer Esterification Reactions Almost 2500 years ago, physicians such as Hippocrates recommended that patients chew on the bark of the willow to alleviate pain. The active ingredient in willow bark was found to be salicin, a compound made of a molecule of salicyl alcohol bonded to a p-D-glucose molecule. In the stomach, the bond between...

    1.   In both the sodium iodide test and the silver nitrate test, why does 2-bromobutane react faster than 2-chlorobutane? Bromine is a better leaving group since it is a weaker base than chlorine is. 2.   a. Why does benzyl chloride react under both SN1 and SN2 conditions?             Benzyl chloride is a primary alkyl halide, hence reactive under SN2 conditions.             The primary carbocation formed due to the departure of Cl- is stabilized by the pi electrons in the benzene ring.         b. Why is...
