Water soluble acetal or ketal
I want to make an acetal or ketal with 3-chloropropanol which should be water soluble. Who can suggest what kind of aldehyde or ketone should I start
with?
Thanks a lot!
Water solubility?

Don't you think your question is too vague? You set no limitations and didn't describe the conditions it will have to withstand or the application it
will have. Without these information it is not possible to answer. There are a number of hydrophilic and ionic groups that can make a compound water
soluble, some are and some are not compatible with acetal groups or the synthetic conditions for preparing these, but without knowing the limitations
it is pretty much guessing.
PS: Please post one-line questions in the Beginnings section so that I don't have to move threads.
…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being
unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their
scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)
