Good question! A “workup” is usually a brief, room temperature treatment with acid that is sufficient to neutralize any strong bases present. In order to fully form the acetal, however, you have to heat with acid in the presence of an excess of alcohol, and also sequester the H2O that forms en route to the acetal. So the reaction conditions are significantly different.

This wouldn’t happen with a base, I get that. But your mechanism specifies an acid work-up, so wouldn’t an acetal form?

To form acetals and ketals you need acid catalysis. The problem with base is that your leaving group would have to be O(2-) which is a terrible leaving group.

Good post, anyway; MOC’s been such a great help.
