1) Compare the proposed reaction mechanism for the sodiumhypochlorite oxidation of cyclohexanol with that involved in thechromic acid oxidation. Do you notice any similarities?

2) Identify the reagents you would need to make the followingsubstance via Grignard synthesis, and breifly describe toursynthetic strategy.

3) If you were to carry out a TLC analysis with the crude benzoicacid product, what type of solid phase would you use and what typeof solvent would you select as an eluting solvent, to detect thebiphenyl impurity?

4) You come across a "new" product that boldly claims to be a rich source of the same antioxidants commonly found in carrots, tomatoes and various peppers. However, you are skeptical and suspect a hoax- that the orange color might simply be from some type of orange-colored food dye. Since you have recently examined some of the antioxidants found in paprika in your organic lab, you decide to play "detective".
