Question
Show a plausible mechanism for our reaction. (Two SN1 reactions and many acid base
reactions are involved.) Please remember that p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH; pKa -5) is a
very strong acid.
Hint: The first two steps are: a) protonation, b) carbocation formation

initially protonation takes place at 4 and 6 carbon of GlcMe
now this protonation attacks the oxygen present in the acetal and then removal of H2 takes place
if u want the figure plzz ask
