Generic structure of acetals. In organic chemistry, an acetal is a functional group with the connectivity R 2 C(OR') 2.Here, the R groups can be organic fragments (a carbon atom, with arbitrary other atoms attached to that) or hydrogen, while the R' groups must be organic fragments not hydrogen.
In organic chemistry, an acetyl group is a functional group denoted by the chemical formula −COCH 3 and the structure −C(=O)−CH 3. It is sometimes represented by the symbol Ac [5] [6] (not to be confused with the element actinium). In IUPAC nomenclature, an acetyl group is called an ethanoyl group.
C 2 H 2 + Hg 2+ + H 2 O → CH 3 CH=O + Hg. The mechanism involves the intermediacy of vinyl alcohol, which tautomerizes to acetaldehyde. The reaction is conducted at 90–95 °C (194–203 °F), and the acetaldehyde formed is separated from water and mercury and cooled to 25–30 °C (77–86 °F).
The inversion of polarity between R'(H)C δ+ =O δ− and R'CLi(SR) 2 is referred to as umpolung. The reaction is commonly performed using the 1,3-dithiane. The lithiated intermediate can be used for various nucleophilic bond-forming reactions, and then the dithioketal hydrolyzed back to its carbonyl form.
Two acetyl-CoA molecules condense to form acetoacetyl-CoA, which gives rise to the formation of acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate. [16] Acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate, and their spontaneous breakdown product acetone [ 18 ] are frequently, but confusingly, known as ketone bodies (as they are not "bodies" at all, but water-soluble chemical ...
C 6 H 5 OH + CH 2 O → C 6 H 4 OH(CH 2 OH. Air oxidation of salicyl alcohol gives salicylaldehyde. C 6 H 4 OH(CH 2 OH + O → C 6 H 4 OH(CHO) +H 2 O. Chemical sweeteners are formed by acetal formation with e.g. isovanillin (Cmp4). [5]

Hemithioacetal functional group. In organic chemistry, hemithioacetals (or thiohemiacetals) are organosulfur compounds with the general formula R−CH(−OH)−SR’.They are the sulfur analogues of the acetals, R−CH(−OH)−OR’, with an oxygen atom replaced by sulfur (as implied by the thio-prefix).
