Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Given the reaction (a) was formed by hemiacetals (or) hemiketals and transformation process should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Acetal formation: The small amount of acid catalysts is added to the reaction of an alcohol with an
Hemiacetal: A compound with both an alcohol like (-OH) group and ether like (-OR) group bond to the carbon atom was at one time the aldehyde carbonyl carbon.
Hemiketals: A compound with both an alcohol (-OH) groups and an ether (-OR) groups are bonded to the carbon atom that was at one time the ketone carbonyl carbon.
(b)
Interpretation:
Given the reaction (a) was formed by hemiacetals (or) hemiketals and transformation process should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Acetal formation: The small amount of acid catalysts is added to the reaction of an alcohol with an aldehyde or ketone, the hemi-space initially formed is converted into an acetal or a ketal substitution reaction.
Hemiketals: A compound with both an alcohol (-OH) groups and an ether (-OR) groups are bonded to the carbon atom that was at one time the ketone carbonyl carbon.
