Question
The first reported example of a rearrangement reaction produced an alpha-hydroxy-substituted one of these compounds from benzil under basic conditions, a reaction that also occurs in other non-enolizable 1,2 di-ketones. Phosphorus tribromide is used as a catalyst in the Hell–Volhard–Zelinsky halogenation of these compounds. These compounds can be reacted with thionyl (“THY-oh-nile”) chloride to produce a compound, which, when added to a primary amine, makes a secondary (*) amide. Adding water to an acyl chloride produces one of these compounds and hydrogen chloride. These compounds’ anhydrides, form two of these compounds on hydrolysis. With Jones reagent, these compounds can be formed by fully oxidising primary alcohols. For 10 points, name these organic compounds which feature a ‘C·O·O·H’ functional group. ■END■
