Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Given the each set of compounds whether it is a hemiacetal (or) neither should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
A hemiacetal or a hemiketal: addition of alcohol to an
(b)
Interpretation:
Given the each set of compounds whether it is a acetal, ketal (or) neither should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Acetals: Generally Acetals are used to protect the aldehyde (carbonyl group).
In this reaction acetaldehyde is protected as acetal by using methanol.
A hemiacetal or a hemiketal: addition of alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone which produce hemi acetal.
(c)
Interpretation:
Given the each set of compounds whether it is a acetal, ketal (or) neither should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
A hemiacetal or a hemiketal: addition of alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone which produce hemi acetal.
Ketal: A
Cyclic hemiacetals: Intramolecular hydroxyl group reacts with the carbonyl group which forms cyclic hemiacetals.
(d)
Interpretation:
Given the each set of compounds whether it is a hemiacetal, hemiketal (or) neither should be identified.
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.
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.
