Triphenylmethyl ethers are stable to aqueous base but are rapidly cleaved in aqueous acid. (a) Why are triphenylmethyl ethers so readily hydrolyzed by aqueous acid? (b) How might the structure of the triphenylmethyl group be modified to increase or decrease its acid sensitivity?arrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16.
