Question

Esters tend to undergo a substitution reaction when reacted with a nucleophile. On the other hand, aldehydes and ketones undergo an addition reaction instead. Why is this so?

Group of answer choices

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.
