Which gives nucleophilic addition reactions ?

A

`CH_(3) CHO`

B

`CH_(2) = CH_(2)`

C

`CH_(3) -O - CH_(3)`

D

`CH_(3) - CH_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Due to presence of strong electronegative O-atom, the carbon-oxygen double bond in carbonyl group
becomes highly polarised. This makes C-atom of the carbonyl group electron deficient, hence it undergoes nucleophilic addition reaction.

Which of the following compounds is most reactive towards nucleophilic addition reactions ?

Which of the following aldehydes is most reactive towards nucleophilic addition reactions ?

Aldehydes and ketones are amphoteric. Thus they can act both as acids and bases. Under acidic conditions, the carbon of the protonated canbonyl group is much more electrophilic, reacting even with weak nucleopphilie. Carbonyl compound gives nucleophilic addition reaction. In this reaction the nucleophilic attack proceeds the elecrophilic attack. Carbonyl compounds gives nucleophilic addition with

Aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid derivatives contain C= O group. Aldehyde and ketones give nucleophilic addition reactions where as acid and acid derivatives give nucleophilic addition followed by elimination reactions. Nucleophilic addition reactions followed by elimination of acid dervatives is Known sacyl substitution reaction. This substitution reaction takes place by formation of tetrahedral intermediate. For the given reaction which of these is correct ?
