19) As was discussed in class, a toluenesul fonate is an excellent leaving group. In reaction A shown below, the product shows the addition of an acetate with inversion at the stereocenter where the tosylate (-OTS) was previously attached. The use of radiolabeled oxygens in the acetic acid shows incorporation of the radiolabels at the inverted stereocenter When reaction B was carried out, the product shows the addition of an acetate, although with retention of configuration at the stereocenter where the tosylate (-OTs) was previously attached. Furthermore, the radiolabeled acetic acid shows the production of two regioisomers of the product in a 50:50 ratio. OTs A ACOH ..... „OTs B ACOH Explain (1) why only one isomer is produced in reaction A and (2) why the stereochemistry of that isomer is trans. Explain (3) why trans-isomers are also produced in reaction B and (4) also explain how the radiolabeled oxygens end up scrambled between the two possible regioisomers. You may use pictures to answer these four questions but you may not exceed 35 words total for all of your answers. (think, draw, then write).

I got this question wrong on my exam, I now understand that a or b woul dwork, but I can't figure out whihc would work better and why. Could you please explain why either Zn(Hg), HCl or H2, Pd-C works better than the other for this reaction?
Shown below are two reactions; Reaction 1 is a Friedel-Crafts acylation while Reaction 2 is a Friedel- Crafts alkylation. State which reaction will occur faster and justify your answer, with words and structures. Explain these all: e- density / Deactivation / Resonance stable / faster the carbonation formed because it's gonna have smaller activation energy
