The cyanohydrin reaction, in which an aldehyde or ketone reacts with a cyanide ion, is an example of this type of reaction. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this type of organic reaction, in which an electron pair [emphasise] donor reacts with a substrate’s double or triple bond, breaking it and forming a single product.
ANSWER: nucleophilic addition [prompt on partial answer]
[10h] Along with the Flippin-Lodge angle, this doubly-eponymous angle defines the angle of attack of a nucleophile approaching its substrate. For the reduction of formaldehyde, this angle is approximately 107°.
ANSWER: Burgi-Dünitz angle [accept BD angle]
[10e] Nucleophilic additions commonly involve aldehydes and ketones, which contain this functional group. This functional group consists of a carbon-oxygen double bond.
ANSWER: carbonyl
