A

is a strong non-nucleophilic base that accepts a proton

19
Q

Alkyne anions…

A

23
Q

What are hydrates

A

2x OH attached to one carbon, form when water reacts with aldehydes/ketones

24
Q

Hemiacetals?

A

1x OR group 1x OH group, formed when alcohol reacts with aldehyde/ketone

25
Q

Acetals?

A

2x OR groups, formed when acetal reacts with alcohol

26
Q

Large R groups effect on acetal formation?

A

Less formed due to steric hindrance reducing carbonyl reactivity

27
Q

Ring strain effect on amount of acetal formed?

A

More formed, release of ring strain with increased acetal bond angle

28
Q

EWGs effect on acetal formation?

A

More formed, reason beyond 1A

29
Q

Give hydrate formation mechanism

A

30
Q

Give acetal formation mechanism

A

31
Q

Why must acetal formation be acid mediated?
