Abstract
AbstractA series of sterically similar five‐ and six‐membered ring cyclic diol‐derived ketone acetals have been prepared and their rates of acid‐catalysed hydrolysis examined. The rates of hydrolysis are substantially affected by acetal ring conformational stereoelectronic effects and resonance effects depending upon the substituents on the parent ketone; an A1 mechanism of hydrolysis explains the observed effects.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
