Reverse Acetal Formation. When we do the experiment to test our prediction, we find that yes, the product we have predicted is formed. But, we also find another product, one which hadn't been predicted.
But, we also find another product, one which hadn't been predicted. In the following example we. Web once the addition reaction is accomplished (or whatever reaction required protecting the carbonyl), the reversibility of acetal formation can be used to reform the original carbonyl. When we do the experiment to test our prediction, we find that yes, the product we have predicted is formed. Web first, an acid catalyst must be used because alcohol is a weak nucleophile; Web the forward direction is acetal formation ( protection) and the reverse direction is hydrolysis (driven by entropy).
