aldehydes and ketones
Explanation:
The synthesis of aldehydes and ketones occurs when primary or secondary alcohols are reacted with oxidizing agents like \(\text{PCC}\) or \(\text{Na}_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7/\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\). Additionally, aldehydes and ketones can be synthesized from alkenes with various other reactants.
