The interaction of this moiety and boronic acid is what allows boronic acids to be used as biosensors and binders such as boronolectins.
The interaction of this moiety and boronic acid is what allows boronic acids to be used as biosensors and binders such as boronolectins. These are converted to carbonyls in the Pinacol rearrangement. Copper chromate reduces acyloins into these compounds. Periodic acid can cause the oxidative cleavage of one type of these compounds. Osmium tetroxide oxidizes alkenes to give these compounds. The locations of the characteristic functional groups in these compounds can lead to them being geminal or vicinal. For 10 points, name these compounds, which include ethylene glycol, which have two hydroxyl groups.
