Chapter 6.10, Problem 17P

The hydrolysis of sulfonate of $\text{2-octanol}$ is stereospecific and proceeds with complete inversion of configuration. Write a structural formula that shows the stereochemistry of the $\text{2-octanol}$ formed by hydrolysis of an optically pure sample of $\text{(S)-(+)-1methylheptyl p-toluenesulfonate}$, identity the product as $\text{R}$ and $\text{S}$, and deduce its specific rotation.
