Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of a cyclic acetal from 4-hydroxypentanal and one equivalent of methanol. If th

e carbonyl oxygen of 4-hydroxypentanal is enriched with oxygen-18, do you predict that the oxygen label appears in the cyclic acetal or in the water

Answer:

If carbonyl oxygen of 4-hydroxypentanal is enriched with O^{18}, then the oxygen label appears in the water .

Explanation:

  • In the first step, -OH group at C-4 gives intramolecular nucleophilic addition reaction at carbonyl center to produce a cyclic hemiacetal.
  • Then, one equivalent of methanol gives nucleophilic substitiution reaction by substituting -OH group in cyclic hemiacetal to produce cyclic acetal.
  • If carbonyl oxygen of 4-hydroxypentanal is enriched with O^{18}, then the oxygen label appears in the water produced at the end of reaction.
  • Full reaction mechanism has been shown below.

Tatiana [17]
When Carboxylic Acid is treated with Alcohols in the presence of acid as a catalyst it produces corresponding Esters. This reaction is called as Esterification.
 Also, this reaction is a reversible reaction and the ester formed can also hydrolyze to produce Carboxylic acid and Alcohol. This reverse reaction is called as transesterification.
The formation of Ethyl Acetate from Acetic Acid and Ethanol in the presence of acid is shown below,
