The carbon atom shown here only has three bonds. It needs to have a hydrogen on it (for acetals), or another R group (for ketals).
Why is Glycoside redirected to this article? Nothing currently in the article text mentions glycoside. Could someone knowledgeable make the connection explicit? Thank you. -- Jeff Q 19:40, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
how do you properly pronounce????

"This picture is incorrect: it starts with a ketone, therefore this is a ketal, not an acetal."

One is a reaction, the other is the product of the reaction. There is not much content on the product, and actually a large part of the product article is about the reaction that makes it. Much of what's important about the product seems to be (or at least is highly related to) the specific chemistry of it, i.e., the reaction that forms it. Perhaps some day someone will write tons of material about one or the other enough to merit separate articles, but for now seems like it's duplicated content and/or closely related important content spread over multiple places.

Acetal is also the name (shouldn't WP reflect this?) of a particular acetal, 1,1-diethoxyethane (named "acetal" after the three ethyl groups?). Confusingly, "acetal" looks like a synonym for "ethanal", which I see it is not. -- lifeform ( talk) 04:51, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Ketal redirects here, which seems fine. Maybe the title should reflect that the article covers both? Beyond that title change, I dont have any special ideas. The article might not need separate sections on acetals vs ketals.-- Smokefoot ( talk) 20:14, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
