Carbonyl, Cetal + TsOH
« on: April 08, 2020, 01:14:53 PM »
I have a question about this exercise.

The carbonyl group will be attacked by H+, correct? How does the reaction unfold?

The reagent has the formula C13H24O3 and the product C10H18O2, I do not understand how C3H6O leaves the molecule.

You start with a ketal of acetone.... 

You "exchange" this ketal for the ketal of the other ketone - an intramolecular ketal.
