What's wrong with aldehyde? If it's about oxidation, yes, it can be oxidised to carboxylic acid, Cr2O72-/H+
It can also undergo reduction using 3 methods, either LiAlH4, which is kept under dry ether because it is explosive, or you can reflux it with NaBH4 or you can react it with hydrogen and a Ni/Palladium catalyst. The product is usually primary alcohols
