How to predict EQ?
- the more stable the aldehyde or ketone, the more the EQ lies to the aldehyde or
ketone, not the hydrate
- the less positive the carbonyl carbon, the more stable the aldehyde or ketone

Acetals are "protected carbonyls":

Mechanism of deprotection is the reverse of acetal formation.

Selective Acetal Formation
- alcohols are weak nucleophiles, therefore selective nucleophiles
- aldehydes are more reactive than ketones, therefore alcohols selectively react with aldehydes to form
acetals in the presence of ketones
