Question
Aldehydes are relatively unstable. Therefore, it can sometimes be good to protect the aldehyde by allowing it to react with ethane-1,2-diol and thus form an acetalvia a hemiacetal. Imagine the following aldehyde. Name the aldehyde. 2-diol under acidic conditions. Draw a balanced reaction formula for the reaction.c.Draw the reaction mechanism for the reaction.
