Which of the following best describes á,â unsaturated carbonyls?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Á,â unsaturated carbonyls are carbonyl compounds that have a double bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms and also have a carbon-carbon double bond, which creates a conjugated system of double bonds. As a result of this conjugation, the electron density on the carbonyl carbon is reduced, which makes it an electrophilic site for chemical reactions. Therefore, the correct answer is C, they are electrophilic and conjugated.
