Nitroalkanes are about as acidic as ketones and aldehydes. Nitroalkanes can also be utilized in reactions similar to the Aldol reaction (a reaction termed a Henry reaction). a) Rationalize why nitroalkanes are more acidic than alkanes. b) Provide a mechanism for both steps of the following Aldol-like (Henry) reaction.

4) We discussed in class how acetals are formed from a ketone and two equivalents of an alcohol, using an acid catalyst. Alternatively, would a strong base also catalyze (i.e. accelerate) the formation of an acetal? Explain why or why not, in the context of the reaction mechanism and potential intermediates.
