Sulfonate Esters
Tutorial on the formation and reactivity of sulfonate esters (e.g., tosylates, mesylates).
Tutorials for organic chemistry
Tutorial on the formation and reactivity of sulfonate esters (e.g., tosylates, mesylates).
Tutorial covering the alkene hydroboration/oxidation reaction, which converts an alkene into an alcohol with anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity and syn stereoselectivity.
Tutorial on the E1 (unimolecular elimination) alcohol dehydration reaction and mechanism, which converts alcohols into alkenes.
Tutorial covering the acid-catalysed hydration of alkenes, an electrophilic addition reaction forming alcohols. The mechanism is also covered, discussing the Markovnikov rule and the regioselectivity.
