    Study Notes

    Light and Optical Activity

    • Light can rotate the plane of polarization to the right (+) (dextrorotatory) or to the left (-) (levorotatory)
    • A change in stereochemistry at a double bond can alter the optical activity of a molecule by converting it to (Z) form

    Volatile Oils

    • Volatile oils have specific gravity (Sp.gr.) values ranging from 0.696 - 1.188 at 15°C
    • Oils with lower Sp.gr. values contain a high percentage of terpenes, such as turpentine oil
    • Oils with moderate Sp.gr. values contain more alcohols, esters, and ketones, such as Mentha oil

    Ocimene

    • Ocimene is found in oils of Ocimum basilicum (basil)
    • Ocimene is a member of the Labiatae (mint) family
    • The dl form (racemic) of Ocimene, known as Dipentene, is found in oils of lemon grass, nutmeg, and fennel

    Isolation of Hydrocarbons

    • Hydrocarbons can be isolated using fractional distillation
    • Hydrocarbons can be isolated by forming crystalline adducts with:
      • Cl2
      • Br2
      • HX
      • N2O3
      • N2O4
      • NOCl
      • NOBr
    • The formation of adducts is particularly useful for isolating hydrocarbons containing double bonds
