Propane-2,2-diol, an example of a geminal diol. A geminal diol has two hydroxyl groups bonded to the same atom. These species arise by hydration of the carbonyl compounds. The hydration is usually unfavorable, but a notable exception is formaldehyde which, in water, exists in equilibrium with methanediol H 2 C(OH) 2
Like BPA, CBDO is a diol with a structure suitable for making polyesters. CBDO’s C 4 ring is sufficiently rigid to prevent the two OH groups from forming cyclic structures. Unlike BPA, there is no current evidence of carcinogenic or toxic effects from CBDO-based consumer products.
The reaction product is a vicinal diol. The reaction is named after pinacol (also known as 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-butanediol or tetramethylethylene glycol), which is the product of this reaction when done with acetone as reagent. The reaction is usually a homocoupling but intramolecular cross-coupling reactions are also possible.
Particularly common spiro compounds are ketal (acetal) formed by condensation of cyclic ketones and diols and dithiols. [15] [16] [17] A simple case is the acetal 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane from cyclohexanone and glycol. Cases of such ketals and dithioketals are common.
Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another.

For cyclic systems: Identification of the parent cyclic ring. The cyclic system must obey these rules, in order of precedence: It should have the most senior heteroatom (in order: N, O, S, P, Si, B). It should have the maximum number of rings. It should have the maximum number of atoms. It should have the maximum number of heteroatoms.
The generic geminal diol. The 'R's represent any groups other than OH. A geminal diol (or gem-diol for short) is any organic compound having two hydroxyl functional groups (-O H) bound to the same carbon atom. Geminal diols are a subclass of the diols, which in turn are a special class of alcohols. Most of the geminal diols are considered unstable.
Two mechanisms are proposed for the Criegee oxidation, depending on the configuration of the diol. [6] [7] If the oxygen atoms of the two hydroxy groups are conformationally close enough to form a five-membered ring with the lead atom, the reaction occurs via a cyclic intermediate.
