Alkenes ((X) ) and carbonyl compounds ((Y) ) participate in which of the following addition reactions?

Options

  1. A(X) - Electrophilic, (Y) - Electrophilic
  2. B(X) - Nucleophilic, (Y) - Electrophilic
  3. C(X) - Electrophilic, (Y) - Nucleophilic
  4. D(X) - Nucleophilic, (Y) - Nucleophilic

Correct answer

C. (X) - Electrophilic, (Y) - Nucleophilic

Step-by-step solution

Here, (X= ) electrophile and (Y ) - nucleophile. Alkenes ((X) ) are highly reactive compounds due to the presence of exposed ( )-electron cloud in them. These compounds show electrophilic reactions in which electrophiles attack the loosely held ( )-electron of alkenes. While the carboxyl (( ) ) compounds undergo nucleophilic reaction due to polar nature of carboxyl group.
