Chapter 6, Problem 29P

If the temperature is not kept below 25 o C during the reaction of primary alcohols with p-toluenesulfonylchloride in pyridine, it is sometimes observed that the isolated product is not the desired alkyl p-toluenesulfonate but is instead the corresponding alkyl chloride. Suggest a mechanistic explanation for this observation.

The p-toluenesulfonate derived from (R)-2-octanol and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride was allowed to react with sodium benzenethiolate (C6H5SNa). Give the structure, including stereochemistry and the appropriate R or S descriptor, of the product.
A racemic mixture of 2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-butanone is formed when (R)-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-butanone is dissolved in an acidic or basic aqueoussolution. Give an example of another ketone that undergoes acid- or base-catalyzed racemization.
we know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage. However, acetals in which two ether groups are linked to the same carbon undergo hydrolysis readily, even in dilute aqueous acid. How do you account for this marked difference in chemical reactivity toward dilute aqueous acid between ethers and acetals?
