Reaction with tri-phenyl-phosphine and carbon tetrachloride converts these compounds into alkyl chlorides in the Appel reaction. Tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride can be used to remove silyl ether protecting groups of these compounds. They can be converted to a better leaving group through reaction with tosyl chloride to form a tosylate. On an IR spectrum, this functional group displays a strong, broad peak at 3200 to 3500 inverse centimeters. A solution of zinc chloride and hydrochloric acid is used to determine their presence in the (*) Lucas test. In an E1 mechanism, sulfuric acid dehydrates it to form alkenes. Primary ones can be oxidized to carboxylic acids with Jones's reagent, and to aldehydes with PCC. For 10 points, name this functional group characterized by a hydroxyl at the end.
