1i am still confused .. wats wrong in my statement
for nucleophilic attack in ketone, with increasing + I effect on carbon of carbonyl group, the reactivity should increase or decrease ?

1357The reactivity should decrease as it will reduce the positive charge on the carbon atom
1but + I effect will increase the + positive charge on carbon
1357I think you are confudsed
+I are electron releasing which will decrease the +ve charge on carbon
1oh sorry
but reducing + ve charge will increase the stability of carbocation and its formation will become easier so, don't you think that it will increase the reactivity
1hmmmmmmm...........
nucleophile is lewis base means itz eltron rich so it attckes carbon .....of d carbonyl compund coz it has positive chrge
wen d eltron donatin susbtituents increse d positive chrge on carbon whm d nucleophile will attck will decrese as positve chrage decrese d rxtivity decrese
corrct me if m wrng :'(
1hey b y u need d stability of carbon
wat we need is d chrge on nucleophile and carbonyl carbon so bas
jab woh carbon par charge decraese hoga .nucleophile will nt b dat attrcted 2wrds it as it wud hav been if d charge wud hav had remein intact or say charge on crabon wud ahv has incerse(+ve)
