Isoborneol is oxidized to camphor using a safer alternative to traditional chromium(IV) reagents. The product is purified by sublimation, and the purity of the product is determined by its melting point.
The following lab techniques are demonstrated:
Starch-iodide test
Vacuum filtration
Sublimation
Melting point determination
