nucleophilic addition to ketones
"Nucleophilic addition to ketones" refers to a chemical reaction where a nucleophile (electron-rich species) reacts with a ketone molecule, resulting in the addition of the nucleophile to the carbonyl carbon of the ketone, forming a new carbon-nucleophile bond and converting the ketone into a new compound."
