MCQ
The carbonyl carbon is:
  • ✓
    Electrophilic
  • B

Correct option: A.
Electrophilic
The carbon$-$oxygen double bond is polarised due to higher electronegativity of oxygen relative to carbon. Hence, the carbonyl carbon is an electrophilic $($lewis acid$)$ and carbonyl oxygen is, a nucleophilic $($lewis base$)$ centre.
