(a) Interpretation: The equations that are necessary for the given conversion are to be stated. Concept introduction: Aldehydes and ketones contain carbonyl functional group in their parent chain and are obtained by the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols. Acetal is an organic compound with general formula RHC ( OR' ) 2 . The two alkoxy groups ( OR' ) are bonded with terminal carbon atom and the R' group can be same or different.

Solution Summary: The author explains that the equations necessary for the conversion of primary alcohol to acetal are shown in Figure 1.
Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.

Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The equations that are necessary for the given conversion are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Ketones contain carbonyl functional group in their parent chain and are reduced to the secondary alcohols by the hydrogenation reaction that is addition of hydrogen in the presence of Pt catalyst. The secondary alcohols on dehydration form alkene as the final product.
