Rank the following compounds in order of their expected reactivity toward reaction:
When primary alcohol is treated with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride at room temperature in the presence of an organic base such as pyridine, a tosylate is formed. When the same reaction is carried out at a higher temperature, an alkyl chloride is often formed. Explain.
