When we do the process of acetal formation, we get hemiacetal formed as an intermediate product. Both acetal and hemiacetal are well-acknowledged functional groups in Chemical Science. The major difference between acetal and hemiacetal is that acetal contains two -OR groups, whereas hemiacetal contains one -OR and one -OH group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section, we are going to discuss Acetal, Hemiacetal, Hemiacetal Synthesis Process and Acetal Synthesis process, the differences between Acetal and Hemiacetal, and the various applications of Acetal and
