Bistartratocuprate(II) complexes oxidize these compounds to induce red copper(I) oxide to precipitate out of Fehling's solution. In the Wacker process, ethylene oxidizes into one of these compounds. These reactive compounds are oxidized by a diamminesilver(I) complex to form a silver mirror in Tollens' reagent. Acyclic ones are named by affixing the name of the longest carbon chain with the suffix (*) "-al," and their general structure has a carbonyl bonded to a hydrogen and a side chain. For ten points, name this group of compounds, the simplest of which is commonly used to preserve tissue.
