Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
If the given compound is acetal, or ether should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The combination of two
(b)
Interpretation:
If the given compound is acetal, or ether should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The combination of two functional groups results in the formation of a hemiacetal. In a hemiacetal, a carbon atom is bonded to an alcohol group and an ether group. It is derived from the aldehyde. When two ether and one alcohol group is bonded to a carbon atom, then it results in the formation of acetal. It is derived from hemiacetal.
