Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could help me out with some questions im struggling to answer.

In relation to the topic:

1) How can I explain the colour changes during oxidation, in relation to oxidation-reduction?

2) Why was it important that temp remained low and that a large excess of ox agent was avoided?

3) If citronellol was oxidised the same way what product would come about and why?

4) Finally, the (+) and (-) signs in front of menthol and menthone, does that just represent the fact there is a 50/50 mixture of enantiomers?


I need this info ASAP!!!!

Thanks
