MCQ
When a nucelophile encounters a ketone the site of attack is:
  • ✓
    The carbon atom of the carbonyl.
  • B
    The oxygen atom of the carbonyl.
  • C
    Both the carbon and oxygen atoms with equal probability.
  • D
    No attack occurs$-$ketones do not react with nucleophiles.
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
The carbon atom of the carbonyl.
Nucleophile attacks on the carbon atom of the carbonyl group as shown in the figure.
