Answer 1

The starting material is alcohol in the first step, it reacts with the tosy1 chloride converts the OH group into OTs group. In the second step, the nucleophile attacks the carbon bearing OTS group and it replaces OTs group . Reaction mechanism: H_3C -CH_2 - OH + TsCi rightarrow CH_3 - CH_2 - Ots downarrow CH_3CH_2s^- CH_3 - CH_2 - S - CH_2 - CH_3
