Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structures for the products A, B, C, and D showing stoichiometry are to be written.
Concept Introduction:
For carrying out a nucleophilic substitution on alcohols, first the hydroxyl group of an alcohol gets converted to a good leaving group to a p-toluenesulfonate ester derivative on reaction with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride
If the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution is
Usually, primary alcohols undergo
