enediol
(Science: chemistry) The atomic arrangement -C(OH)==C(OH)-produced by proton migration from the ch of a -CHOH group that is attached to a -CO-group to the oxygen of the -CO-group (usually induced by alkali), giving rise to doubly bonded carbon atoms (the -ene group), each bearing a -CHOH group (a diol); a special case of enolization.

ie. R1 - C(OH) = C(OH) - R2
damn- you beat me to it by just that much! :) I shouldn't have bothered putting in the generic formula!
