Chemical Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones
CHXII12:ALDEHYDES KETONES AND CARBOXYLIC ACIDS

323603 When a nucleophile encounters a ketone, the site of attack is

1 The oxygen atom of the carbonyl group
2 The carbon atom of the carbonyl group
3 Both the carbon and oxygen atoms, with equal probability
4 No attack occurs as ketones do not react with nucleophiles
