Question

diference between the structure of ketals and acetals

Answer 1

Acetal and hemiacetal are groups of atoms considered as functional groups. There is a slight difference between their chemical structures. The main difference between acetaland hemiacetal is that acetals contain two –OR groups whereas hemiacetalscontain one –OR and one –OH group.

Answer 2

These names are derived from the compounds you might expect: aldehydes and ketones---two closely-related functional groups.



where Ri is just an R group differentiated by the subscript number.

For example, the ketal formation mechanismworks like this (after the initial acid catalysis):
