**Educational Resource:**### Reaction of Alcohol with Tosyl Chloride and a Nucleophile**Reaction Overview:**The following chemical reaction involves an alcohol reacting with tosyl chloride (TsCl) in the presence of pyridine, followed by the addition of a nucleophile. The task is to determine the condensed formula of the expected main organic product.**Chemical Reaction:**- **Reactant:** Ethanol (\( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \))- **Reagents:** 1. Tosyl Chloride (TsCl), Pyridine 2. Chloride ion (\(\text{Cl}^-\))**Explanation:**1. **Step 1:** The hydroxyl group (\(-\text{OH}\)) in ethanol is converted to a tosylate group (\(-\text{OTs}\)) using tosyl chloride in the presence of pyridine. This reaction transforms the alcohol into a good leaving group.2. **Step 2:** The tosylate group is then displaced by a nucleophile, in this case, the chloride ion (\(\text{Cl}^-\)), leading to the formation of chloroethane (\( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{Cl} \)).**Condensed Formula of the Expected Product:**- Main Organic Product: **Chloroethane (\( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{Cl} \))** This reaction showcases a nucleophilic substitution mechanism where the hydroxyl group of an alcohol is replaced by a halogen via a tosylate intermediate.

A substitution reaction (also known as single displacement reaction or single substitution reaction) is a chemical reaction in which one functional group in a chemical compound is replaced by another functional group. Substitution reactions are of prime importance in organic chemistry.The given reaction can be completed as follows, This is a substitution reaction.
