Chapter 19.SE, Problem 33MP

Interpretation Introduction

a)

Interpretation:

The products formed in the reaction given are to be identified. The mechanism of the reaction also is to be provided.

Concept introduction:

Acetal reacts with excess of water in the presence of acids to yield aldehydes and ketones. The steps involved are protonation, nucleophilic substitution, proton transfer, another nucleophilic substitution and heterolysis.

To identify:

The products formed in the reaction given and to provide the mechanism of the reaction.
