- Sublimation of camphor
- Record IR (KBr pellet method–instructions here) and Melting Point
- Sodium Borohydride Reduction of Camphor
- Prepare a separate prelab for Pavia 31B
- Base your calculations on 0.100 g of camphor
- You can scale up the reaction, if you recover more than 0.1 g of camphor
- If you recover less than 0.1 g, use the pure camphor supplied in the lab
- If time permits (otherwise, these steps can be completed on the following Monday)
- Prepare a sample for GC-MS (to determine product distribution)
- Record IR (KBr Pellet)
