Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hemiacetal which is formed when benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is treated with one equivalent of cyclohexanol should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Alcohol and ether groups are bound to the same carbon in a hemiacetal. A hemiacetal is resulted as an intermediate of the formation of acetal during the reaction between alcohol and
(b)
Interpretation:
The acetal which is formed when benzaldehyde is reacted with two equivalents of cyclohexanol in the presence of H2SO4 should be determined.
Concept introduction:
When an aldehyde or a ketone is reacted with two equivalent alcohol molecules in the presence of H2SO4, an acetal is produced. In acetal formation, two alkoxy groups are bonded to the same carbon.
