Title: Reaction mechanism of synthesis of bis(acetonide)
Post by: lello9 on March 13, 2021, 06:06:33 AM
I want to write the reaction mechanism for the synthesis of bis(acetonide). In the experiment D-mannose reacting with acetone and FeCl3 to bis(acetonide). Could someone give me a hint on how to start with it?
