For 10 points, name these compounds that have a hydroxyl group and are exemplified by methanol and ethanol.
Esters are formed from these compounds using the reagents tri-phenyl- phosphine and DEAD in the Mitsunobu reaction. These compounds are oxidized with a reagent consisting of chromium trioxide in dilute sulfuric acid and acetone. In the Williamson ether synthesis, an alkyl halide reacts with an alkoxide prepared from one of these compounds, which have sulfur analogs known as thiols. The secondary type of these compounds can be oxidized to ketones. For 10 points, name these compounds that have a hydroxyl group and are exemplified by methanol and ethanol.
