1. Four bonds

    Acetal is a functional group with four bonds on the core carbon atom: -OR1, -OR2, -R3, and H. (where R1, R2 and R3 groups are organic fragments). The two –OR groups could be the same (symmetric acetals) or distinct (asymmetric acetals) (mixed acetals).

    Acetal - Wikipedia

    In organic chemistry, an acetal is a functional group with the connectivity R2C(OR')2. Here, the R groups can be organic fragments (a carbon atom, with arbitrary other atoms attached to that) or hydrogen, while the R' groups must be organic fragments not hydrogen. The two R' groups can be equivalent to each other … See more

    Used in a more general sense, the term X,Y-acetal also refers to any functional group that consists of a carbon bearing two heteroatoms X and Y. For example, N,O-acetal refers to compounds of type R R C(OR)(NR'2) (R,R' ≠ H) also known as a hemiaminal ether or See more

    Sugars
    Since many sugars are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones, sugars are a rich source of acetals and ketals. Most glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates and other polysaccharides are acetal linkages. Cellulose See more
