The 30 pages that link to Nucleophilic addition, each with the reason it gives.

• Carbonyl groupRelated: Aldehydes and ketones commonly react by addition at the carbonyl carbon.

• AldehydeRelated: Nucleophiles attack the polarized carbonyl carbon in aldehydes.

• FormaldehydeRelated: Water and other nucleophiles add readily to formaldehyde’s carbonyl carbon.

• KetoneRelated: Ketone carbonyl carbons are electrophilic targets for nucleophilic addition.

• AcetaldehydeRelated: Acetaldehyde's carbonyl carbon accepts nucleophiles, forming alcohols and other products.

• Frontier molecular orbital theoryRelated: The nucleophile’s occupied orbitals donate into an electrophile’s low-lying unoccupied orbital.

• Grignard reactionRelated: The carbon–magnesium bond adds across a carbonyl carbon–oxygen bond.

• NitrileRelated: Nucleophiles attack the electrophilic carbon of a nitrile, often converting its triple bond into an imine-derived product.

• Grignard reagentRelated: Grignard reagents add to carbonyl groups through this reaction pattern.

• Anionic polymerizationRelated: Monomer addition commonly occurs when the anionic chain end acts as a nucleophile.

• Hydride transferRelated: Hydride adds to electrophilic carbonyl carbon in many reduction reactions.

• Carbonyl compoundRelated: Aldehydes and ketones commonly undergo this reaction at their carbonyl carbon.
