Interpretation:
A complete and detailed mechanism for the reactions in Equation
Concept introduction:
If an aldehyde or ketone is treated with a large excess of an alcohol under acidic conditions, then the hemiacetal produced from nucleophilic addition reacts further to form an acetal, in which two alkoxy (
The equation
The reversibility of acetal formation enables us to use acetals as protecting groups for
