The p−toluenesulfonate derived from (R)−2−octanol and p−toluenesulfonyl chloride was allowed to react with sodium benzenethiolat
e (C6H5SNa). Give the structure, including stereochemistry, of the product.
1 answer:
Answer:
A thioether is formed as product with opposite configuration.
Explanation:
- (R)-2-octanol substitutes Cl from p-toluenesulfonyl chloride to produce p-toluenesulfonate derivative. Here stereochemistry of 2-octanol is retained as no bond breaking or bond formation takes place at chiral center.
gives
reaction with p-toluenesulfonate derivative to produce a thioether with (S) configuration. Here inversion of configuration takes place due to backside attack by
- Structure of product has been shown below.

Answer: 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction
Explanation:
A synthesis reaction is one in which two or more than two elements combine together to forma single product.
The atoms present in the reactants are found on the product side. According to the law of conservation of mass, the number of atoms on both sides of the arrow must be same as the total mass must be conserved.
15 grams of sodium reacts with 22 grams of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride. Thus 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction.
