    Alcohols contain an -OH group attached to a central carbon atom and can be primary, secondary, or tertiary. 1,1-diols have two -OH groups on the same carbon atom. When one OH group in a 1,1-diol is replaced by an OR group, it forms a hemiacetal. Ethers have a central oxygen bonded to two hydrocarbon groups, while an acetal forms when the OH groups in a 1,1-diol are both replaced by OR groups.

    ORGANIC CHEMISTRY FUNCTIONAL GROUPS:

    FUNCTIONAL GROUPS WITH SINGLE BONDS TO OXYGEN

    ALCOHOL
    (R= CnHn+2 or H) HEMIACETAL
    The functional group when an -OH group (R= CnHn+2, R = CnHn+2 or H)
    is attached to the central carbon atom. When one OH group in a 1,1-diol is
    Alcohols can be primary (RCH2OH), replaced by one OR group this gives
    secondary (R2CHOH) or tertiary a hemiacetal
    (R3COH).

    1,1-DIOL
    (R= CnHn+2 or H)
    DI = two, OL = alcohol functional group
    Two -OH groups are attached to the
    same carbon atom

    ETHER ACETAL
    (R= CnHn+2, R = CnHn+2 or H)
    (R= CnHn+2 or H)
    When the OH groups in a 1,1-diol
    A central oxygen atom is bonded
    are replaced by two OR groups this
    to two hydrocarbon groups
    gives an acetal
