Question

What is meant by Acetal? Give an example of the reaction.

Answer 1

for example: (v) hemiacentle when an aldehyde reacts with one molecule of amonohydric alcohol in presences of dry gas, gem - alkoxyalcohols are formed. these are known as hemiacentle. for example :(Vi) oximi when an aldehyde or ketone reacts with hydrodynamic inweak acidic medium, the product obtained is known as oxime...

Answer 2

Acetal is the process in which the amonohydric alcohol of two equivalents is reacted up with an aldehyde.

This reaction will take place with dry HCl gas presence.

This will result in the formation of gem-dialkoxycompounds.

The two alkoxy group will be placed right on the terminal C-atom.  

Acetaldehyde or Ethanol and Ethanol  will give Ethanol diethyl acetal
