Choose the most correct set of reagents for the following reaction.
Acetals are formed from the reaction of two alcohols with a carbonyl under acidic
conditions. Acetal formation is faster with 1,2-ethanediol than with two methanol
molecules.
Choose the factor that explains the difference in reaction rates.
A) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a
lower AH (enthalpy) of reaction.
B) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a
higher AH (enthalpy) of reaction.
C) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a
more favorable entropy of reaction.
7. For compound A in acid, it is the hydroxyl that is protonated
to a greater extent than the carbonyl oxygen. However, for
compound B in acid, it is the carbonyl oxygen that is
protonated to a greater extent than the hydroxyl oxygen.
Explain this difference.
