heya mate here is your answer ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Ketones do not react with monohydric alcohols but they usually tends to react with diol i.e polyhydric alcohol. This can be explained on the basis of the stability of the product. The ketones tends to form a cylic ketal with diols which stabilises the product whereas no such cyclic ketal product formation is possible with the monohydric alcohols . Since,e the non-cyclic ketal formed is unstable
