Chapter 6.10, Problem 17P

The hydrolysis of sulfonate of 2-octanol is stereospecific and proceeds with complete inversion of configuration. Write a structural formula that shows the stereochemistry of the 2-octanol formed by hydrolysis of an optically pure sample of (S)-(+)-1methylheptyl p-toluenesulfonate , identity the product as R and S , and deduce its specific rotation.
