During the synthesis, the chemist installed a tosyl group on the alcohol to make it a better leaving group.

In our synthesis, we converted the alcohols to tosylates before performing the substitution reaction.

The tosylation of the primary alcohol proceeded smoothly under mild conditions.

To facilitate the substitution reaction, we tosylate the primary alcohol before treating it with the nucleophile.

In the SN2 reaction, tosylate acted as an excellent leaving group.

We converted the alcohols into tosyls to activate them for nucleophilic substitution.

The research paper compared the yields of various tosylations conducted under different catalysts.

The tosylated alcohol was easily displaced by nucleophiles in the substitution reaction.

After purification, the secondary alcohol was tosylated and stored under nitrogen.

The lab technician accidentally spilled a small amount of tosylic acid while preparing the esterification reaction.
