What is the product of reaction of 3 hexanone with 1, 3 propanediol???

Answer 1

Natalie Anton

The reaction is catalyzed by acid to give an acetal

#"CH"_3"CH"_2"C"("O"("CH"_2)_3"O")("CH"_2)_2"CH"_3#

The carbonyl oxygen is first protonated in an acidic environment.

The oxygen (alcohol) then targets the electrophilic carbonyl carbon.

There is a proton transfer.

Resonance stabilizes the resulting structure after a water molecule departs.

The acetal is created when the opposite end of the alcohol targets the same carbon, which was previously a member of the carbonyl group.

Only a hemiacetal forms under fundamental circumstances.

Kai Bowman

The product of the reaction between 3-hexanone and 1,3-propanediol is 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one, also known as 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone or 3-acetylhexan-3-ol.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
