Abstract
AbstractThe process of acetal hydrolysis is analyzed in terms of the competing steps of proton transfer and heavy atom reorganization. The results of this analysis are portrayed in a series of three‐dimensional reaction coordinate diagrams. The observed pathway of hydrolysis (A‐1, general acid catalyzed, or spontaneous) is shown to depend on the energy of the various possible intermediates in these reactions.
