Mechanism of nucleophilic addition reactions


3
A nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon atom of the polar carbonyl group from a
direction approximately perpendicular to the plane of sp2 hybridised orbitals of carbonyl
carbon. The hybridisation of carbon changes from sp2 to sp3 in this process, and a tetrahedral
alkoxide intermediate is produced. This intermediate captures a proton from the reaction
medium to give the electrically neutral product. The net result is addition of Nu– and H+
across the carbon oxygen double bond as shown in Figure.

i) Why aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards nucleophilic


addition reactions?
ii) Write the major product for the following reaction:

iii) Would you expect benzaldehyde to be more reactive or less reactive in
