- Aldehydes and ketones react with thiols to yield thioacetals just as they react with alcohols to yield acetals. Predict the product of the following reaction, and propose a mechanism:arrow_forwardIsolated from marine algae, prelaureatin is thought to be biosynthesized from laurediol by the following route. Propose a mechanism.arrow_forwardThe Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reaction involves reduction of a ketone by treatment with an excess of aluminum triisopropoxide, [(CH3)2CHO]3Al. The mechanism of the process is closely related to the Cannizzaro reaction in that a hydride ion acts as a leaving group. Propose a mechanism.arrow_forward
