When reacted with water, these compounds form geminal diols and treating them with hydrazine  reduces the carbon-oxygen bond to a CH2 bond by way of the Wolf-Kishner reaction.
When reacted with water, these compounds form geminal diols and treating them with hydrazine  reduces the carbon-oxygen bond to a CH2 bond by way of the Wolf-Kishner reaction. Treating them with a Grignard reagent yields an alcohol with a substituted group from the reagent, while treatment with Tollen's reagent converts them to carboxylic acids without breaking the carbon-carbon double bond, and carboxylic acid can also be obtained by reacting them with oxidizing agents such as nitric acid. Synthesized by reacting a primary alcohol with an oxidizing agent such as pyridinium chloride, FTP, identify these organic molecules containing or consisting of a terminal carbonyl group.
