Answer:
Explanation:
The nucleophilic addition reaction of alcohol to a carbonyl compound in an acidic medium forms a hemiketal in the case of a ketone or a hemiacetal in the case of an aldehyde. When the carbonyl function is brought into contact with two alcohol functions, a ketal (for a ketone) or an acetal (for an aldehyde) is obtained.
From the image attached below, we will see how ketal formation occurs by the reaction of two molecules of ethanol with one cyclohexanone molecule.
