Chapter 11, Problem 11PP
Practice Problem 11.11
An exception to what is stated above has to do with syntheses of unsymmetrical ethers in which one alkyl group is a tert-butyl group and the other group is primary. For example, this synthesis can be accomplished by adding tm-butyl alcohol to a mixture of the primary alcohol and

we know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage. However, acetals in which two ether groups are linked to the same carbon undergo hydrolysis readily, even in dilute aqueous acid. How do you account for this marked difference in chemical reactivity toward dilute aqueous acid between ethers and acetals?
