(a)
Interpretation:
The two isomeric cyclic acetals obtained on acid-catalyzed reaction of acetone and glycerol are to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Compounds having the same molecular formula but the different structural formula is known as isomers. The isomers are classified as structural and stereoisomers. The stereoisomers are further classified into two types, enantiomeric and diastereomeric isomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The compound which can be actually resolved on acid catalyzed reaction of acetone and glycerol into enantiomers is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Compounds having the same molecular formula but the different structural formula are known as isomers. The isomers are classified as structural and stereoisomers. The stereoisomers are further classified into two types, enantiomeric and diastereomeric isomers.
