This functional group can be converted into an ester via the (*) Baeyer-Villiger oxidation while a more common mode of synthesis is oxidation of secondary alcohols with Jones' reagent.
Pyridine borane complexes are able to hydroborate alkenes upon activation at room temperature to produce this functional group. It's not an alcohol, but a compound with this functional group is produced from a peroxide in the Kornblum-DeLaMare rearrangement. Another rearrangement can produce a hydroxy aryl one of these from an aryl ester and is named for Fries, while pinacol coupling produces them from diols. This functional group can be converted into an ester via the (*) Baeyer-Villiger oxidation while a more common mode of synthesis is oxidation of secondary alcohols with Jones' reagent. This group is more stable than its tautomer, the enol. FTP, name this functional group which does not give a silver mirror upon reaction with Tollens reagent, a carbonyl group attached to two substituents whose simplest member is acetone.
