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.
Acid catalyzed acetal formation from the corresponding hemiacetal. Acetals, as already pointed out, are stable tetrahedral intermediates so they can be used as protective groups in organic synthesis. Acetals are stable under basic conditions, so they can be used to protect ketones from a base. The acetal group is hydrolyzed under acidic conditions.
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. The two R' groups can be equivalent to each ...
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).
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.

A heterocyclic compound or ring structure is a cyclic compound that has atoms of at least two different elements as members of its ring(s). [1] Heterocyclic organic chemistry is the branch of organic chemistry dealing with the synthesis, properties, and applications of organic heterocycles .
An electron transfer coupled with cleavage of the peroxo species generates a hemi-acetal radical. The terminal C-C bond cleaves homolytically to form the alkyl radical and release formate. The alkyl radical is quenched by final electron transfer. Two electron transfers restore the reduced state of di-iron and release a molecule of water.
