Used in a more general sense, the term X,Y-acetal also refers to any functional group that consists of a carbon bearing two heteroatoms X and Y. For example, N,O-acetal refers to compounds of type R 1 R 2 C(OR)(NR' 2) (R,R' ≠ H) also known as a hemiaminal ether or Aminal, a.k.a. aminoacetal.
Acetaldehyde (IUPAC systematic name ethanal) is an organic chemical compound with the formula CH 3 CH=O, sometimes abbreviated as MeCH=O. It is a colorless liquid or gas, boiling near room temperature. It is one of the most important aldehydes, occurring widely in nature and being produced on a large scale in industry.
1,1-Diethoxyethane (acetaldehyde diethyl acetal) is a major flavoring component of distilled beverages, especially malt whisky [3] and sherry. [4] Although it is just one of many compounds containing an acetal functional group, this specific chemical is sometimes called simply acetal .
Butyraldehyde, also known as butanal, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 2 CHO. This compound is the aldehyde derivative of butane. It is a colorless flammable liquid with an unpleasant smell. It is miscible with most organic solvents.
The latter reagent in itself is an acetal and therefore the reaction is actually a cross-acetalisation. Kinetic reaction control results from 2-methoxypropene as the reagent. D-ribose in itself is a hemiacetal and in equilibrium with the pyranose 3. In aqueous solution ribose is 75% pyranose and 25% furanose and a different acetal 4 is formed.
To make polyoxymethylene homopolymer, anhydrous formaldehyde must be generated. The principal method is by reaction of the aqueous formaldehyde with an alcohol to create a hemiformal, dehydration of the hemiformal/water mixture (either by extraction or vacuum distillation) and release of the formaldehyde by heating the hemiformal.
Cerium(III) chloride (CeCl 3), also known as cerous chloride or cerium trichloride, is a compound of cerium and chlorine.It is a white hygroscopic salt; it rapidly absorbs water on exposure to moist air to form a hydrate, which appears to be of variable composition, [1] though the heptahydrate CeCl 3 ·7H 2 O is known.
Methanediol, also known as formaldehyde monohydrate or methylene glycol, is an organic compound with chemical formula CH 2 (OH) 2.It is the simplest geminal diol.In aqueous solutions it coexists with oligomers (short polymers).
