La décomposition, catalysée par les acides et les bases, des hydrates et des hémiacétals de composés carbonylés fourni des exemples classiques de réactions dans lesquelles le transfert (lent) d'un proton est couplé à une réorganisation des atomes lourds, comme le bris de la liaison C-O et la réorganisation du solvant.
