Document Summary
1g of 2-methylcyclohexanol was added to a 100ml round bottom flask with 2. 1ml of glacial acetic acid. The apparatus in figure 1 was assembled with 20ml of bleach in the separatory funnel. The bleach was added drop wise to the round bottom flask over 5 minutes. The solution was tested using ki paper and 4ml of bleach was added when the results showed no oxidizing agent was present. The ice bath was removed and the solution was allowed to come to room temperature while being stirred for 30 minutes, checking for the oxidizing agent with ki paper ever 5 minutes. 2ml of nahso3 was added to neutralize the solution. The neutralized solution was added to a separatory funnel with 20ml of dcm. The bottom layer was removed and the top layer was discarded. The bottom layer was added to the separator funnel again and washed with. Magnesium sulfate was added to dry the washed dcm solution.
