Treatment of Alcohols with Tosyl Chloride Does Not always Lead to the Formation of Tosylates

Treatment of substituted benzyl alcohols with tosyl chloride resulted in the formation of the corresponding chlorides, not the usual tosylates. A series of experiments demonstrated that it was possible to predict whether chlorination or tosylation would occur for substituted benzyl alcohols and pyri...
