Aldehydes and ketones undergo acid-catalyzed reaction with alcohols to yield hemiacetals, compounds that have one alcohol-like oxygen and one ether-llke oxygen bonded to the same carbon. Show the structure of the hemiacetal that you would obtain by reaction of acetophenone with ethanol. - You do not have to consider stereochemistry. - You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. - Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading.
