Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The syntheses of 2, 4-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Aldehydes or ketones on reaction with two equivalents of alcohol form acetals. Acetal formation takes place in presence of acids, commonly p-toluenesulfonicacid. This is nucleophilic addition reaction. Conversion of aldehydes or ketones to acetals is a reversible reaction.

Interpretation Introduction
