Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.
Esterification reactions, such as the one below, is a poor synthetic strategy as it leads to poor yields of the ester. What alternative could be done to produce more p-methylphenyl acetate? Replace the aromatic alcohol with a phenolate. Replace acetic acid with acetate. Replace the p-methylphenol with p-chlorotoluene. Replace acetic acid with acetyl chloride.

Compounds A, B, and C which are all alcohols are subjected to the Lucas test. An oily layer was formed almost instantly after the addition of reagents to Compound C. For compound A, it took several minutes before an oily layer was formed. Meanwhile, it took at least one hour with compound B before an oily layer was observed. What could be compound B? Choices: Ethanol Isopropyl alcohol tert-butyl alcohol
