Oxidation of Borneol to Camphor using Sodium dichromate
« on: November 02, 2017, 02:06:50 AM »
Hi everyone,

I'm having a trouble writing a balanced equation for the oxidation of borneol to camphor using sodium dichromate as an oxidizing agent in acid (where Cr2O72- is reduced to Cr3+).

Any help is appreciated :)

What have you tried? What is the reaction (unbalanced) that's going on - in word form for functional groups (like alkyl halide to ether)?
