For 10 points, name these compounds distinguished by a hydroxyl or –OH group, which notably includes ethanol.
The Nozaki-Hiyama and Barbier reactions produce these compounds. Primary alkyl halides reacted with strong bases in nucleophilic aliphatic substitution result in these compounds. They undergo the E1 elimination reaction to produce alkenes and they are the reduction product of the Cannizzaro reaction.
