Question

neutrophilic addition accur at carbonyl carbon while neutrophilic addition accur at alpha carbon​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbonyl Group is a polar functional group that is made up a carbon and oxygen double bonded together. There are two simple classes of the carbonyl group: Aldehydes and Ketones. Aldehydes have the carbon atom of the carbonyl group is bound to a hydrogen and ketones have the carbon atom of the carbonyl group is bound to two other carbons. Since the carbonyl group is extremely polar across the carbon-oxygen double bond, this makes it susceptible to addition reactions like the ones that occur in the pi bond of Alkenes, especially by nucleophilic and electrophilic attack.
