- AKetones
- ✓Diethers
- CAldehyde
- DHydroxy aldehydes
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Diethers
b
A ketone is a functional group with the structure $R C(=0) R$.Diether is a compound containing two atoms of oxygen with ether $(C-O-C)$ linkages.An aldehyde is a compound containing a functional group with the structure $- CHO$ An aldol is a hydroxy ketone or aldehyde with formula $R _1- C ( OH )- CR _2-$ $C (= O )- R _3$An acetal is a functional group with the connectivity $R _2- C -( OR )_2$. Hence, it is a diether.
