Carbonyl compounds show the following types of chemical reactions:

1. Nucleophilic addition reactions

2. Nucleophilic addition-elimination reactions

3. Oxidation, reduction and halogenation.

Among them, the nucleophilic addition reaction is the important reactions of carbonyl compounds.

The main reactions of the carbonyl group are nucleophilic additions to the carbon‐oxygen double bond. As shown below, this addition consists of adding a nucleophile and a hydrogen across the carbon‐oxygen double bond. Due to differences in electronegativities, the carbonyl group is polarized.
