Answer:

RCl

Explanation:

Here, let us take ROH to represent the formula of our alcohol where R is the alkyl group.

The reaction of ROH with  tosyl chloride yields an ester called a tosylate. It is the O-H bond not the C-O bond that is cleaved when the tosylate is formed.

Tosylates are good leaving groups, attack of a nucleophile such as Cl^- completes the mechanism leading to the formation of RCl.
