Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A chemical equation describing the preparation of cis-4-tert-butylcyclohexyl methanesulfonate is to be written.

Concept introduction:

Alkyl sulfonates can be prepared by reacting an alcohol with a sulfonyl chloride.

The stereochemistry of the original alcohol and the carbon skeleton both are maintained when the alcohols are converted to their corresponding alkyl methyl sulfonates.
