An aryl variety of one of these compounds participates in the Fries rearrangement. Their reaction with alcohols in basic conditions under heat is referred to as saponification, while they may be generated from an alcohol and carboxylic acid in a reaction named for Fischer. They provide the (*) linkages between the glycerol head and the fatty acid tails of a lipid. Like carboxylic acids, they contain a carbon double-bonded to one oxygen and single-bonded to another oxygen. For 10 points, name this class of organic compou
