Talk:Acetal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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).

  • Missing H on C now fixed. Delta G 15:36, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Glycoside

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)

  • I agree the redirect was not obvious. I replaced it with a stub that links to glycosidic bond where things get explained in more depth. FYI, the tenuous link was that a glycoside contains an acetal. -- Delta G 14:39, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Acetal
