Aldehydes and ketones undergo acid-catalyzed reaction with alcohols to yield hemiacetals, compounds that have one alcohol-like o

xygen and one ether-like oxygen bonded to the same carbon. Further reaction of a hemiacetal with alcohol then yields an acetal, a compound that has two ether-like oxygens bonded to the same carbon. Show the structure of the acetal that you would obtain by reaction of cyclopentanone with 1-propanol.
