Abstract
The nature of the products obtained from reactions of acetaldehyde with methanol have been investigated in neutral and acidic solutions by titration with iodine and sodium bisulphite, ultraviolet absorption, and infrared spectroscopy. In neutral and buffered solution the hemiacetal is the only important product; in the presence of a high concentration of hydrogen ions the acetal is produced nearly quantitatively.Keywords
