Acetals as protecting groups and thioacetals | Organic chemistry | Khan Academy

How acetals are used as protecting groups. Thioacetals are similar to acetals, but form from reaction of an aldehyde with a thiol (not an alcohol). Created by Jay.

Organic Chemistry on Khan Academy: Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them. We will also think about how those reactions are occurring on a molecular level with reaction mechanisms. Simply put, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Let's make some beautiful organic molecules!
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

Why does the carboxylic acid not react with the alcohols the way the ketone does?

[@vijayvyas5075]

TheShot Doctorr did u get an answer to this? i too have the same doubt. please share if u know.

[@briggshightower2609]

Why make the video when hardly any arrow pushing is shown. We get tested on those kinds of things and it gives reason to the synthesis

[@izkl5769]

it helpss a lot, thank you!

Missed the hemiketals actual step.

Will Raney Ni do the same thing with acetal protecting groups?

[@waldmannfisch6970]

no, raney nickel will do nothing to acetals
