Base catalyzed reaction of carbonyl group takes place in the presence of:
Correct answer: B. Strong nucleophile
- A. Weak electrophile
- B. Strong nucleophile
- C. Weak nucleophile
- D. Strong electrophile
Explanation
For all carbonyl compounds, nucleophilic addition reactions take place, and hence a strong nucleophile that can break the C=O bond and is negatively charged is used.

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
