A hemiacetal is a functional group containing a carbon atom bonded to one -OH group, one -OR group (where R is an alkyl or aryl group), and one hydrogen atom. To identify hemiacetals, look for a carbon atom with the following pattern: C-OH-OR-H. Please provide the structures you would like me to analyze, and I will identify any hemiacetals.
