CONCEPT: NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITION OF SOLVENTS These are reactions that are induced primarily by the extraordinary reactivity at the carbonyl carbon ● The carbonyl carbon is so reactive that it even reacts with some _________________ ● Most of these mechanisms are acid-catalyzed — all are fully reversible in mild acid (H3O+).

□ Protonation is always the first step, deprotonation is always the last (restores the catalyst)
