Organic Chemistry: Testing for the presence of Acetol or Meiacetal in a solution

[Douglas.Curtis]

I'm on the search for any information which would help to identify the presence of either of these compounds within a solution

In order to answer the question, you need to define what else is in the solution - because that affects what chemicals can be used for the detection.

The solution can be changed to fit the detection method.

I'm sure you mean hemiacetal, so I have to ask if when you say acetol do you mean acetal or hydroxyacetone?
