| Definitions |
A compound having the structure RR'C(OR'')(OR''') (R'', R''' =/= H) and thus diethers of geminal diols. Originally, the term was confined by IUPAC to derivatives of aldehydes (R = H), but it now applies equally to derivatives of ketones (neither R nor R' = H ). Mixed acetals have R'' and R''' groups which differ. |
