4) We discussed in class how acetals are formed from a ketone and two equivalents of an alcohol, using an acid catalyst. Alternatively, would a strong base also catalyze (i.e. accelerate) the formation of an acetal? Explain why or why not, in the context of the reaction mechanism and potential intermediates. Naome, MeoH าาาา ← meo ome + Hzo
