Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of p-toluenesulfonic acid is to be drawn. The mechanism for the formation of p-toluenesulfonic acid by using the curved arrow notation is to be stated. The resonance structure of the carbon intermediate formed is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Electrophilic substitution reactions are those reactions in which an electrophile replaces the atom or functional group of a compound. Sulfonation is an electrophilic substitution reaction in which the hydrogen atom of an aromatic ring is replaced by the sulfonic acid functional group.
