According to the IUPAC definition of a hemiacetal, the R 1 and R 2 groups may or may not be hydrogen. In a hemiketal, both of these R-groups must not be hydrogen. Thus, hemiketals are regarded as a subclass of hemiacetals. [1] The prefix hemi, meaning half, refers to the one alcohol added to the carbonyl group.
The pyranose ring is formed by the reaction of the hydroxyl group on carbon 5 (C-5) of a sugar with the aldehyde at carbon 1. This forms an intramolecular hemiacetal.If reaction is between the C-4 hydroxyl and the aldehyde, a furanose is formed instead. [1]
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).
The mechanism is tentatively hypothesized to take place by the following steps: [7] The reduced di-iron coordinates oxygen, which oxidizes the iron and forms a peroxide species. The peroxide species attacks the aldehyde. An electron transfer coupled with cleavage of the peroxo species generates a hemi-acetal radical.
An oligosaccharide has both a reducing and a non-reducing end. The reducing end of an oligosaccharide is the monosaccharide residue with hemiacetal functionality, thereby capable of reducing the Tollens’ reagent, while the non-reducing end is the monosaccharide residue in acetal form, thus incapable of reducing the Tollens’ reagent.

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).
