According to section 10.11, the sulfonate ion is an excellent
leaving group, because it is a very weak base. I was wondering if this is
due to resonance in the bonds between the sulfur and the oxygens. Is
this correct? Are there any other factors that make the sulfonate ion
such a good leaving group?
