Healthy adults: In a 1981 study, healthy adults received 1 gram of vitamin C intravenously. One hour later, the neutrophil motility (how fast your white blood cells can move) and leukocyte transformation in the subjects' blood had increased significantly.
THE REACTIONS OF EXPERIMENT 35 Refer to pages 289 - 290 of your textbook.It is clear now how the oxidation-reduction scheme of p. 289 is being used here to illustrate the concept experimentally.An alcohol (borneol) is being oxidized into a ketone (camphor).
Benzyl alcohol, an aromatic primary alcohol, is a clear, oily liquid with a mild, pleasant odor; melting point at -15 C; boiling point at 205 C; specific gravity 1.04. It is soluble in water and readily soluble in alcohol and ether. The benzene ring can be a ring-substituted with alkyl groups. Benzyl alcohol readily forms esters with various acids and thus provides wide finish product applications including soap, perfume, flavor & fragrance, and food additive.
