1028 CHAPTER 24 24.24. (a) Upon treatment with excess methyl iodide in the presence of silver oxide, all of the OH groups are converted into methoxy groups, as shown: (b) Upon treatment with excess methyl iodide in the presence of silver oxide, all of the OH groups are converted into methoxy groups, as shown: (c) Upon treatment with excess methyl iodide in the presence of silver oxide, all of the OH groups are converted into methoxy groups, as shown: 24.25. Under acidic conditions, the anomeric OH group can be protonated, giving an excellent leaving group (water). Loss of the leaving group generates a resonance-stabilized cation intermediate. This intermediate can then be attacked by ethanol, giving an oxonium ion, which is then deprotonated to give an acetal: www.MyEbookNiche.eCrater.com
