https://joechem.io/videos/131 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). In this video, we explore thioacetals, what they are, why they are useful, and how they are (basically) the same as acetals, but not quite. We'll step through the forwards and backwards mechanism, as well as do an example where a thioacetal proves useful (and where an acetal would fall short). If you haven't though about acetals in a hot minute, revisiting that video here on jOeCHEM may not be a bad idea (linked below). Acetals video: https://joechem.io/videos/33
