Simple ketone acetals were prepared by reaction of alcohols with ketones. The composition of several ketone-alcohol reaction systems at equilibrium was determined at 24°and -28°and in each case the formation of the acetal was favored at the low temperature.In the past most ketone acetals were prepared by one of two general methods. One of these methods
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
