p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine, it is sometimes observed that the isolated product is not the desired alkyl p-tou;enesulfonate but is instead the corresponding alkyl chloride. why is this is so ???

can be becoz.. S-Cl bond length > S-C bond length..
so, if temp > 25 deg C, the S-Cl bond breaks and alkyl chloride forms.
