Explanation
Out of the four choices A, B and C are examples of nucleophilic additions. where as Choice D is an example of Reduction reaction.
Therefore the questions has three answers A, B, and C.
A nucleophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction where a chemical compound with an electron deficient or electrophilic double or triple bond, a π bond, reacts with electron-rich reactant, termed a nucleophile, with disappearance of the double bond and creation of two new single, or σ, bonds.
With a carbonyl compound as an electrophile, the nucleophile can be:
· An alcohol in acetalisation to an acetal.
· A cyanide anion in Cyanohydrin reactions forming a cyanohydrin product.
· A sulphur ion from sodium bisulfite which forms a bisulfite adduct with aldehyde groups.
The only type which is not a nucleophilic addition is the Wolff-Kishner reaction, which is the REDUCTION of aldehydes and ketones to alkanes.
Aldehydes on oxidation gives carboxylic acids. For example, oxidation of acetaldehyde gives acetic acid.
