Aldehydes and Ketones, Prepare a mechanism
Added by Elaine M.
Step 1
The first step is the nucleophilic addition of a nucleophile (such as a Grignard reagent or an organolithium compound) to the carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde or ketone. This results in the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. Show more…
