Alkenes $(X)$ and carbonyl compounds $(Y)$ participate in which of the following addition reactions?

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Here, $X=$ electrophile and $Y$ - nucleophile. Alkenes $(X)$ are highly reactive compounds due to the presence of exposed $\pi$-electron cloud in them. These compounds show electrophilic reactions in which electrophiles attack the loosely held $\pi$-electron of alkenes. While the carboxyl $(\gamma)$ compounds undergo nucleophilic reaction due to polar nature of carboxyl group.

Alkenes \((X)\) and carbonyl compounds \((Y)\) participate in which of the following addition reactions?
