What is the product of the reaction below?
Correct answer: D. Option D
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
Alcohols add reversibly to aldehydes and ketones to form hemiacetals. This reaction can continue by adding another alcohol to form an acetal or ketal. These are important functional groups because they appear in sugars. Thus, option D is correct .

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
