Adding Tosylate Group Mechanism | Organic Chemistry @OrganicMechanismsChannel

Uploaded August 2021 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

The mechanism for the addition of a tosylate group to an alcohol. A tosylate group (Ts, Tos, tosyl, toluenesulfonyl) is added from tosyl chloride. It is possible to form esters as well as amides with this mechanism as well. A tosylate group can be used as a protecting group is some scenarios, however, more often it is used as a leaving group.
