These ...An “alpha‑substitution reaction” of a carbonyl compound is a reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms on the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group is substituted by some other atom or group. These reactions, which can be regarded as the backbone of much synthetic organic chemistry, usually result in the replacement of a hydrogen attached to an α-carbon with some type of electrophile.

Alpha-substitution reactions occur at the position next to the carbonyl group—the α position—and involve the substitution of an α hydrogen atom by an electrophile, E, through either an enol or enolate ion intermediate.
