Procedure: Set-up your 250 mL 2-necked round bottom flask as shown in Figure 8.3. Attach the thermometer using the red neoprene adapter. Add 6.0 mL cyclohexanol to the round bottom flask.

Pour the bleach and acetic acid mixture into your separatory funnel and suspend it by an iron ring as shown in Figure 8.3.

Set-up your 250 mL 2-necked round bottom flask as shown in Figure 8.3. Attach the thermometer using
the red neoprene adapter. Add 6.0 mL cyclohexanol to the round bottom flask. In the 400 mL beaker, get 85
mL of bleach and add 4.0 mL glacial acetic acid in the hood.
Pour the bleach and acetic acid mixture into your separatory funnel and suspend it by an iron ring as
shown in Figure 8.3. If you have a separatory funnel that is furnished with a ground glass joint at the bottom,
DO NOT connect the joints since you want to have a system that is open to the atmosphere.

Preparation of Cyclohexanone by Hypochlorite Oxidation
In this experiment we will prepare cyclohexanone from cyclohexanol using hypochlorite oxidation. We
will use common household bleach that is a 5.25% (0.75 M) aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite. The
overall reaction is shown in Figure 8.1.

The exact reaction mechanism is not known but a plausible mechanism is given below. It is known that
the mechanism does not involve free radicals and that yields are better in acidic rather than basic conditions.
This is why we use acetic acid. It reacts with the sodium hypochlorite to give hypochlorous acid, which then
reacts with the oxygen of the alcohol. Note the oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine so the
attacks the chlorine of the hypochlorite, which has a formal charge of +1.
