What makes the carbonyl carbon a good electrophile? 1. RESONANCE: There is a minor but significant contributor that includes a formal 1+ charge on the carbonyl carbon. 2. INDUCTION: The carbonyl carbon is directly attached to a very electronegative oxygen atom. 3. STERICS: How does an sp2 carbon compare to an sp3? – What would the resonance hybrid look like for this carbonyl?
