Capillary camphenic

A mixture of glacial acetic acid (4 p.a., 0.70 mol), camphene (5 95%, 0.70 mol) and acetic anhydride p.a., 9.05 mmol) was mechanically stirred (1500 rpm) overnight at 328 K under a N2 atmosphere. Subsequently, 2.5 g of catalyst was quickly suspended in the reaction mixture. The composition of the soluble fraction of the reaction mixture was analyzed by capillary GC as a function of reaction time samples were prepared as follows 1.00 mL of the reaction mixture was added to water (25.00 mL) followed by an extraction with -heptane (25.00 mL). 1.00 mL of the -heptane fraction was diluted with n-heptane...
