What is Carbonyl Chemistry: Nucleophilic Reactions about?

Carbonyl groups contain a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen. They can act as either electrophiles or nucleophiles. There are three main fates of carbonyl groups: accept a nucleophile at the carbon, accept an electrophile at the oxygen, or form an enolate. The rate of carbonyl reactions is determined by the rate-determining step, usually nucleophilic attack at the carbon. Factors controlling this rate are the carbony carbon
