Nucleophilic addition reactions

(i) Carbonyl compounds give nucleophilic addition reaction along with those reagents which on dissociation give electrophile also nucleophile.

(ii) If nucleophile is not strong as compared to the addition reaction is performed in the presence of acid as catalyst.

(iii) Product of addition reactions might be given as follows,

In addition reactions nucleophile involves on carbonyl carbon and electrophile on carbonyl oxygen to provide adduct.
