Green Oxidation of Borneol to Camphorwith Oxone

Introduction:
An oxidation reaction is essentially the process in which an atom loses
electrons. Of course, to compensate, another atom within the molecule must
undergo a reduction in which the atom gains electrons. This entire process is
termed as a “redox-reaction.” In organic chemistry however, it is common that these
conditions aren’t the set criteria, and rather, the removal of a single oxygen atom
from a molecule (or the addition of two hydrogen) will constitute a “redox-reaction.”
Figure 1.1 and 1.2 respectively illustrate typical oxidation, and reduction reactions.
The dangers of a typical oxidation were avoided with the usage of Oxone, as
opposed to a bleach oxidation. Some oxidations can result in serious risk of
carcinogenic effects. Oxone avoids those risks as well as being far more
environmentally friendly (thus duly labeled as Green.) In place of bleach, Oxone was
used to convert borneol to camphor; as opposed to bleach the reaction yields higher
amount of product.

Results:
No crystals of camphor were obtained during experimentation. The results
were collected from another lab group and utilized in this report for the sake of
consistency. Ideally the camphor crystals would result as a clear to whitish
crystalline structure. The camphor was recorded to have a melting point of 167°C.
The percent yield was found to be 54%. This was found by first converting both the
gram amounts of borneol, and camphor into moles.

Borneol = 0.2g / 154.24g = 0.0013mol. (theoretical yield)

Camphor = 0.1g / 152.24g = 0.0007mol (actual yield)
The actual yield (0.0007mols of camphor) was then divided by the theoretical yield
(0.0013mols of borneol) to find the percent yield.

0.0007mol / 0.0013mol = 0.5384
This yield was then multiplied by 100%.

0.5384 x 100% = 53.84%
Borneol was recorded to have an Rf value of 0.7. Camphor was recorded to have an
Rf value of 0.73. The Rf values were recorded by dividing the distance the pigment
moved from the solvent front over the dimensions of the TLC paper. In this case, the
TLC paper measured 6cm. The distance the pigment moved from the solvent front
for borneol was recorded to be 4.2cm. The distance the pigment moved from the
solvent front for camphor was recorded to be 4.4cm.

4.2cm / 6cm = 0.7 (borneol’s Rf value)

4.4cm / 6cm = 0.73 (camphor’s Rf value)
Figures 2.1 and 2.2 respectively illustrate the IR and NMR spectra for the
experiment.

Figure 2.2: Illustrates the +HNMR Spectra for the experiment product of camphor.
Discussion:
The recorded melting point of the product was found to be 167°C. This is very
nearly consistent with the literature value of 175-177°C. The lowering in the range
of the melting point can be attributed to an impurity in the product as proved by
mixed melting point theory. Remaining water due to a lack of proper drying could
cause this impurity, or it could be left-over reactant (borneol) that remained in the
final product. The percent yield was found to be 54%. This could be due to the
previously discussed possibility of an impurity. An impurity could effect the entirety
of the reaction, resulting in a lessening of product. The IR spectra indicate no
alcoholic peaks, which is a sign that the drying agents worked perfectly. The
expected peak at around 1710 (recorded at 1740.79) indicates that camphor is
certainly our product. The +HNMR spectra coincide with the chemical structure of
camphor. The TLC helped to identify leftover borneol in the experiment. This was
done by taking an initial TLC when the reactants were present, and comparing it to
the product’s TLC. If there were remnants of borneol, it would be shown on the
second TLC reading.
Conclusion:
An oxidation was completed in the experiment. Overall, the goal of oxidizing
borneol to camphor utilizing green oxidation techniques was successful. In future
experimentation the skill set of a reliable oxidation utilizing these green techniques
(Oxone in place of bleach) will be applicable. The experimentation was successful.
