Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equation which shows the preparation reaction of octadecyl p-tolunesulfonate from the ethanol and p-tolunesulfonyl chloride is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

The nucleophilic substitution reaction occurs when alcohol reacts with appropriate sulfonyl chloride in the presence of pyridine to yield alkyl sulfonate derivative.

The leaving group is replaced by nucleophile during the nucleophilic substitution reaction.

The oxygen atom in ethanol acts as nucleophile and p-tolunesulfonyl chloride acts as an electrophile.

In nucleophilic substitution reaction nucleophile attacks on the electrophile and formed principal organic compound.

Bisphenol A is widely used as a building block in polymer synthesis and is found in the polycarbonate hard plastics of reusable drink containers, DVDs, cell phones, and other consumer goods. Bisphenol A is reported to have estrogenic activity, and its widespread occurrence in our environment is a potential concern. Describe one or two biochemical experiments that could be done to compare the activity of bisphenol A with that of its estradiol, its structural relative.
