1. Seven criteria that define a "green" chemical process: 1) efficient, 2) based on renewable raw materials, 3) produce minimum waste, 4) use catalysts rather than stoichiometric reagents, 5) avoid the use or formation of toxic or hazardous materials, 6) require minimum energy, and 7) yield a product that maximizes the incorporation of all materials. (Carey, 9th Edition)
Using the above criteria, what makes Oxone a "green" oxidizing agent?
1. The actual oxidizing agent is hypochlorous acid (HOCl). How it is formed from Oxone?
1. Racemic borneol is used in the oxidation. Use words and a drawing to define "racemic" borneol?
1. What is the purpose of adding the sodium bisulfite?
1. After the Borneol is oxidized there are two extractions and/or washes. Were the following extractions or washes? What was the purpose of each?
  1. Ethyl acetate ( 3 points)
  2. Saturated aqueous sodium chloride ( 3 points)
