21. Aldehydes and Ketones: Nucleophilic Addition / Nitrile to Ketone / Problem 3
Problem 3
Which of the following explains the electrophilic nature of the carbon in nitriles?
A
The bond between carbon and nitrogen in nitriles is nonpolar, leading to a lack of electrophilicity.
B
The nitrogen atom in nitriles donates electrons to the carbon, making it nucleophilic.
C
The carbon in nitriles forms a stable bond with nitrogen, making it less reactive.
D
The carbon in nitriles has a partial positive charge due to the strong dipole along the carbon-nitrogen bond.
