Question: 2. Two reactants, benzyl alcohol and tosyl chloride, react in the presence of an auxiliary, triethylamine, and the solvent toluene to produce the product sulfonate

2. Two reactants, benzyl alcohol and tosyl chloride, react in the presence of an auxiliary, triethylamine, and the solvent toluene to produce the product sulfonate ester (see Table 1.10). Calculate the E factor for the reaction. What would happen to the E factor if the solvents and auxiliary chemicals were included in the calculation? Should these types of materials and chemicals be included in an efficiency measure? Why or why not?
