Chapter 8, Problem 8.19(choose chapter or problem)
The hydrolysis of sulfonates of 2-octanol is stereospecific and proceeds with complete inversion of configuration. Write a structural formula that shows the stereochemistry of the 2-octanol formed by hydrolysis of an optically pure sample of (S)-(+)-1-methylheptyl p-toluenesulfonate, identify the product as R or S, and deduce its specific rotation.
