How do I predict the outcome of this reaction?
I expected this to be an acid base reaction leading to the formation of the weak acid para-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid. However, the answer given in the worksheet was surprising $\ce{-SO3H}$ was eliminated and the product stated was $\ce{C6H5Br}$. I would like to be acquainted with the mechanism of this unusual reaction. I couldn't find it in Clayden or Solomon Frhyle.
