Chapter 24, Problem 24.18P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the acetals hydrolyze more rapidly than ordinary ethers is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Ketones react with diols to form acetals. This reaction is generally used as a way of protecting the carbonyl group in reactions. The carbonyl group can be generated back by hydrolysis of the acetal.

Aldehydes react with diols to form hemiacetals. The reaction takes place in the presence of an acid.

The formation of acetals and hemiacetals is a type of nucleophilic substitution reaction.
