    The document describes the mechanism for ketal formation. Water acts as a catalyst to facilitate the reaction between an aldehyde and an alcohol, forming an acetal or ketal. The aldehyde and alcohol combine to form a hemiacetal intermediate that then loses water to form the final ketal product, with methanol and water as byproducts.
