Consider this scheme. Why does a ring form with a single ethylene glycol on A rather than two molecules of ethylene glycol to form acyclic acetals? Intramolecular reactions are A unfavorable when compared to intermolecular reactions Acyclic molecules are unfavorable compared to rings В in all cases The change in entropy is favorable for ring formation C and strain is low in a five- membered ring Sterics prevents acyclic molecules from forming in this D
