These compounds can react with triphenylphosphine and DEAD to produce esters in the Mitsunobu reaction. They also react with carboxylic acids in the Fischer esterification. These compounds can be created by reacting Grignard reagents with carbonyl groups, or by reducing keto
These compounds can react with triphenylphosphine and DEAD to produce esters in the Mitsunobu reaction. They also react with carboxylic acids in the Fischer esterification. These compounds can be created by reacting Grignard reagents with carbonyl groups, or by reducing ketones to form secondary ones. Consumption of the simplest of these compounds, which can be obtained from wood, can lead to permanent blindness. For 10 points, name these compounds with a hydroxyl group, the simplest of which is methanol.
