Understanding aldol condensation helps determine whether a compound acts as an electrophile, a nucleophile, both, or neither. Key ideas: - The electrophile in an aldol reaction is typically a carbonyl compound (aldehyde or ketone) whose carbonyl carbon can be attacked by a nucleophile. - The nucleophile in an aldol reaction is usually an enolate or an enolizable species that can form a negatively charged carbon (or a highly nucleophilic center) to attack the electrophile. - A molecule can act as an electrophile, a nucleophile, both, or neither depending on its structural features (presence of a carbonyl group for electrophilicity and presence of ......Login to view full explanation
