Nucleophilic addition [1st year ]
Submitted by Dr.bisho on Tue, 12/01/2010 - 10:16am.
In organic chemistry, a nucleophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction where in a chemical compound a π bond is removed by the creation of two new covalent bonds by the addition of a nucleophile.[1]
Addition reactions are limited to chemical compounds that have multiple-bonded atoms:
molecules with carbon - hetero multiple bonds like carbonyls, imines or nitriles
molecules with carbon - carbon double bonds or triple bonds.
