Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The ketal and an acetal molecule structural difference should be explained. The each structure should be draw.
Concept Introduction:
Ketal: A functional group bearing two alkyl group and two alkoxy groups are bonded to central carbon atom, it produced in the acid-catalysed alcoholysis (or) a hemiacetal.
Ketal: A carbon group bearing two alkyl group and two alkoxy groups is called as ketol.
Acetal: An acetal is a functional group with the following connectivity
