The retention time of my isoborneol and borneol peaks were at 3.629 and 3.692 minutes. Thus, the conditions used for the gas chromatogram in the reader and very unlikely to be the same conditions used for your chromatogram. We used the same column so the retention time, in this case, would differ if the flow rate of the carrier gas was not the same and if the column temperature differed. Assume the sample size and injection time differences are negligible. Hi, Dr. Mouser.
Phosphoric acid is a weaker acid.
For secondary and tertiary alcohols, milder conditions promotes the elimination. Knowing where the molecular orbitals lie will help in attempting to determine which product is favored. Course reader, Appendix I has general guidelines. For example, the mp of camphor, borneol and isoboneol is practical since the product could consist of the aforementioned cmpds. Hi, in lecture today you mentioned a short NMR review.
