Interactive Course Summary
Carbonyl Dipole Mechanics and Nucleophilic Addition — The carbonyl group (C=O) possesses a highly asymmetric electron distribution due to the electronegativity differential between carbon and oxygen. This strong polarization creates an electrophilic sp² carbon center that easily undergoes nucleophilic addition-elimination reactions.
