- 5. Optically pure 2-octyl sulfonate was treated with varying mixtures of water and dioxane, and the optical purity of the resulting product (2-octanol) was found to vary with the ratio of water to dioxane, as shown in the following table (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1965, 87, 287-291). Given that dioxane possesses fairly nucleophilic oxygen atoms, provide a complete mechanism that explains the variation in in the product's optical purity due to changes in solvent composition. Hint, the solvent is doing more here than just dissolving.. it is partaking in the reaction.

The key experiment was the reaction of aqueous−OH with ethyl benzoate (C6H5COOCH2CH3) labeled at the carbonyl oxygen with 18O. Bender did not allow the hydrolysis to go to completion, and then examined the presence of a label in the recovered starting material. He found that some of the recovered ethyl benzoate no longer contained a label at the carbonyl oxygen. With reference to the accepted mechanism of nucleophllic acyl substitution, explain how this provides evidence for a tetrahedral intermediate.arrow_forward
