Trioxane is a trimer of the simplest one of these compounds. That compound can polymerize with phenol to form the synthetic plastic Bakelite. Another of these compounds is a tautomer of vinyl alcohol and can be produced by oxidizing ethylene in the Wacker process. The Cannizzaro reaction converts these compounds into carboxylic acid salts and alcohols. When reacted with a (*) silver nitrate and ammonia solution, this compound can form a "silver mirror" in Tollens' test. When open-chained, these compounds are named with the suffix "-al." For ten points, name these compounds which terminate in a carbon bonded to an oxygen and a hydrogen, whose simplest member has formula CH2O.
