Design a procedure to accomplish an assigned oxidation reaction. Find and cite one or more published procedures (other than your textbook) for similar alcohols to support your proposal. Your procedure must include the choice of an appropriate, selective oxidizing agent, how you would work-up the reaction, and a method to purify the product. Finally, what techniques would you use to confirm the identity of your product? Be specific, mentioning physical properties and appropriate diagnostic spectral data. To complete this assignment, all relevant prelab calculations should be performed, based on a scale of 130 mg of alcohol starting material. Write this like a technical synthetic procedure in your lab textbook (1-2 paragraphs, with commentary on the reaction separate).
