The hemiacetal reaction is also reversible and can also be catalyzed by either acid or base. Hemiacetals are not usually isolated, except in the formation of 5- and 6-membered rings, as often seen in carbohydrate chemistry. Identify the hemiacetal formed from the intramolecular cyclization of the molecule shown. OH OH NaOH ? H CH₂OH OH OH The hemiacetal product is: HOH₂C HO O HOH₂C H OH OH HO OH HO OH HO OH O HOH₂C О OH OH H HO- OH HO OH CH₂OH OH OH
