- Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.arrow_forwardWhat will be the resulting products structure when 2-methyl-2-pentanol is treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid?arrow_forwardWhat product is formed from the reaction of p-methylphenol with benzenediazonium chloride?arrow_forward
