Chapter 21, Problem 21.49P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The stereoisomers formed from the cyclization of both A and B, are to be drawn, and an explanation for an optically inactive product mixture from A and an optically active product mixture from B is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The formation of a cyclic hemiacetal is an acid catalyzed reaction. The cyclic hemiacetals formed by the intramolecular cyclization of hydroxyl aldehydes. This process leads to the formation of equal amount of hemiacetal enantiomers with a new stereogenic center.
