The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is an example of a nucleophilic addition reaction, we need to understand the concept of nucleophiles and the mechanism of nucleophilic addition. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Nucleophiles**: - A nucleophile is a species that has a pair of electrons to donate, making it electron-rich. Common nucleophiles include anions or neutral molecules with lone pairs of electrons. 2. **Identifying Carbonyl Compounds**: - Nucleophilic addition typically occurs with carbonyl compounds (like aldehydes and ketones) because the carbon atom in the carbonyl group (C=O) is electron-deficient due to the electronegativity of oxygen. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - We need to analyze the given options (though not provided here, we will assume common examples) to identify which one involves a nucleophile attacking a carbonyl carbon. 4. **Example of Nucleophilic Addition**: - For instance, if we consider acetone reacting with ammonia (NH2), the nitrogen atom from ammonia acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl carbon of acetone. This leads to the formation of an intermediate where the carbonyl oxygen becomes negatively charged (alkoxide ion). 5. **Formation of Product**: - The intermediate can then undergo protonation (gaining a proton) and rearrangement, leading to the formation of an amine or an alcohol, depending on the specific reaction conditions. 6. **Conclusion**: - If both acetone with ammonia and lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) reducing a ketone to an alcohol are options, both represent nucleophilic addition reactions. The hydride ion (H-) from LiAlH4 acts as a nucleophile, attacking the carbonyl carbon and resulting in the formation of an alcohol. ### Final Answer: Both A (acetone with ammonia) and B (lithium aluminum hydride reducing a ketone) are examples of nucleophilic addition reactions. ---
