Question

plan a short synthesis that exploits the use of sulfonate esters as good leaving
groups

Expert Solution

Step 1

Sulfonate- It is salt or ester of sulfonic acid.
OH is conjugate base of water. It is strong base and hence a poor leaving group.
Good leaving groups are weak base.
Alcohol can be converted into good leaving group by converting them into sulfonates.
Methanesulfonyl chloride (MsCl) or p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (TsCl) are some of the reagents that can be used to convert alcohol to suphonates.
-OMs or -OTs are weak base and good leaving groups.
