Alcohols react with sulfonyl chlorides to form sulfonate esters. Only the O-H bond of the alcohol is broken in the reaction, and so no inversion of configuration occurs. The resulting sulfonate esters are reactive in SN1 and SN2 reactions since the sulfonate group is a very weak base and is therefore a good leaving group.Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
The reaction that occurs when the benzaldehyde you have is reacted in a basic environment is called the Cannizzaro reaction, and when it is reacted with cyanide, it is called benzoin. It Explain the reason by writing the reaction mechanisms of the reactions.
Explain using resonance structures of the intermediates (please explain and draw them out) why the bromination of phenol is faster than the bromination of phenyl ester?

Elimination follows Zaitsev's rule to give the more substituted alkene as the major product. Since the reaction occurs via an E2 mechanism, there is no risk of rearrangement of the carbon skeleton as could possibly occur if the elimination occurred via an E1 mechanism with a carbocation intermediate.Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.arrow_forwardWhen heated, carboxylic salts in which there is a good leaving group on the carbon beta to the carboxylate group undergo decarboxylation/elimination to give an alkene.Propose a mechanism for this type of decarboxylation/elimination.
