Question

1 How can you determine if your reduction of camphor was successful?
2 What important side reactions can occur in this experiment?
3 The NMR spectrum of isoborneol shows three separate methyl peaks, but in the NMR spectrum of borneol the three different methyl groups are not resolved (that is, they appear at the same chemical shift). Explain

Explanation / Answer

Question 1.

Camphor can be determined via NMR/IR/Chromatography/extraction depending on the methods used

Question 2.

the isomerizaton or the formation of both, (R)- (left) and (S)-camphor

Question 3.

In here the most likely case is that we have a mix of isoborneaol and the normal borneaol

Therefore, the isoborneol and borneol nmr will be expect to have the same chemical shift as stated befor
