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
