Mustard gas, Cl¬CH2CH2¬S¬CH2CH2¬Cl, was used as a poisonous chemical agentin World War I. Mustard gas is much more toxic than a typical primary alkyl chloride. Itstoxicity stems from its ability to alkylate amino groups on important metabolic enzymes,rendering the enzymes inactive.(a) Propose a mechanism to explain why mustard gas is an exceptionally potent alkylatingagent
