Question
Chapter 24, Problem 37P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Based on the general mechanism for the first stage of acid catalyzed acetal hydrolysis, a reasonable explanation is to be suggested for the given observations.
Concept Introduction:
Acid catalyzed hydrolysis involves an acid catalyst.
Acetals are derivatives of
An oxygen atom of the acetal is protonated using this acid catalyst forming a good leaving group.
When the leaving group breaks away from the carbon atom, a carbocation is formed.
The stability of the carbocation formed, determines the rate of hydrolysis of the acetal.
