Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The open-chain structure of each of the given compounds is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Ketones react with diols to form acetals. This reaction is generally used as a protecting group of the carbonyl group in a reaction and then through hydrolysis, the respective carbonyl group can be generated back.

Aldehydes react with diols to form hemiacetals. The reaction takes place in the presence of an acid.

The formation of acetals and hemiacetals is a type of nucleophilic substitution reaction.
