Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The two isomeric cyclic acetals obtained on acid-catalyzed reaction of acetone and glycerol are to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Compounds having the same molecular formula but the different structural formula is known as isomers. The isomers are classified as structural and stereoisomers. The stereoisomers are further classified into two types, enantiomeric and diastereomeric isomers.

Interpretation Introduction
