  1. In organic chemistry terms the difference between acetal and acetyl. is that acetal is any diether of a geminal diol, R 2 C (OR') 2 (where R' does not = H) while acetyl is the univalent radical CH 3 CO- derived from acetic acid.

    The term that should be used for synthetic materials (e.g., Delrin, etc) is “acetal”. Acetyl is the name of a molecular group of atoms derived from acetic acid (the acid in vinegar). It looks like McCallum Bagpipes has trade marked their brand as Black Acetyl.

    Acetal - Wikipedia

    An acetal is a functional group with the connectivity R2C (OR')2, derived from aldehydes or ketones and alcohols. Acetals are stable, but require water removal for synthesis, and have applications in sugars, chiral derivatives, formaldehyde, and flavors. See more

    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, … 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

    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
