Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A stepwise mechanism for the given reaction is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Acetals are the groups in which carbon atom is bonded with two OR groups through single bonds. They are used as protecting groups for aldehydes and ketones as they are stable enough in neutral to strong basic condition.However, they are unstable in acidic media, and dissociates into corresponding alcohol and carbonyl compound. This reaction is reversible.
