Title: I'm stuck!
Post by: ve_90 on February 14, 2025, 04:46:51 AM

Hello everyone,

Could someone help me understand the mechanism behind this reaction? Kindly, if possible, in addition to the description, could you highlight the various steps involved? I have some ideas, but I'm stuck! Thank you.

I believe that the mechanism involves the typical reactions of aldehydes, particularly the synthesis of acetals.
