Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Reactants
  • A ketone
  • 2 moles of an alcohol
Step 2: Understand the Reaction
  • Ketones react with alcohols in the presence of an acid catalyst.
  • The reaction typically involves the formation of a hemiacetal intermediate.
Step 3: Determine the Final Product
  • When a ketone reacts with 2 moles of an alcohol, the final product is an acetal.

Thus, the functional group produced is an acetal.

Final Answer

The correct answer is B.
