Concept Introduction:
Concept Introduction:
Acetals: Generally Acetals are used to protect the ketone and aldehyde (carbonyl group).
In this reaction acetone is protected as acetal by using ethylene glycol. Generally acetals are less stable compound.
In acidic condition, an aldehyde or a ketone reacts with two molecules of alcohol or a molecule of diol to form acetal or cyclic acetal respectively.
General scheme:
