Talk:Tosyl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Nosyl

Is Nosyl 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl, as the text says? I thought it was 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl.....

[edit] Protecting Group?

In what capacity is a tosyl group protecting an alcohol if it makes it more succeptible to nucleophilic attack? If I'm correct, then this should be changed to say that the tosyl group activates alcohols.
