Solid iodoform formation is involved in a common method for testing for methyl versions of this functional group. With a thorium oxide catalyst, a dicarboxylic acid is converted into a cyclic version of these and in another reaction, thioesters and organozinc compounds also couple to form these. In addition to being the product of Ruzicka cyclization and Fukuyama Coupling, these tautomerizable compounds can be treated with either (*) mCPBA or hydrogen peroxide to form esters in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. Their "bodies" are found in the urine of starving people and, more commonly, diabetics. These compounds result after secondary alcohols are oxidized. For 10 points, name this functional group, which has a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to two carbon groups, the simplest of which is acetone.
