One reaction that forms this functional group uses cesium trichloride to effect the methanolysis of sodium borohydride, thereby favoring the 1,2 reduction.
One reaction that produces this functionality sees saponification follow peroxide oxidation of aryl aldehydes or ketones, and another reaction uses a DABCO [dab koh] catalyst to form allylic ones. One reaction that forms this functional group uses cesium trichloride to effect the methanolysis of sodium borohydride, thereby favoring the 1,2 reduction. The phenyl example of this functionality is far more stable than its tautomer, cyclohexadienone, and these compounds are formed without rearrangement in a hydroxymercuration-demercuration reaction. This functionality is formed in reactions named for Dakin and for Luche, as well as in the reaction of carbonyl with Grignard reagents. Reacting this functionality with base and then an alkyl bromide is an effective ether synthesis. For 10 points, name this functional group, which contains an -OH unit.
