In these contexts, the terms acid and base typically refer to the thermodynamic propensity of a substance to give and accept hydrogen ions while the terms nucleophile and electrophile refer to a substance's kinetic propensity to react with carbon-based Lewis acids and bases, respectively.

Rec...Although we have seen many different types of nucleophilic acyl substitutions in this chapter, we have not yet encountered a reaction in which the incoming nucleophile is a carbanion or a hydride. Recall that in the previous chapter on aldehydes and ketones, we also postponed discussion of nucleophilic carbonyl addition reactions in which a carbanion or a hydride is the nucleophile.

This definition covers Brønsted-Lowry proton transfer reactions, but also includes reactions in which no proton transfer is involved.

Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors, while Lewis bases are donors. This concept explains reactions like the classic example between borane BH3 and NH3, resulting in a coordinate covalent bond. The Usanovich acid-base concept extends this by including oxidation-reduction reactions.

Most organic compounds are electrically neutral; they have no net charge, either positive or negative. However, certain bonds within a molecule, particularly the bonds in functional groups, are polar, which is a consequence of an unsymmetrical electron distribution in a bond due to the difference in electronegativity of the bonded atoms.

Other nucleophiles are possible in carbonyl addition mechanisms: in chapters 12 and 13, for example, we will examine in detail some enzyme-catalyzed reactions where the attacking nucleophile is a resonance stabilized carbanion (usually an enolate ion).

    Recall from chapter 1 that the ketone functional group is made up of a carbonyl bonded to two carbons, while in an aldehyde one (or both) of the neighboring atoms is a hydrogen.

The same, however, can be said about a base: in fact, bases can act as nucleophiles, and nucleophiles can act as bases. What, then, is the difference between a base and a nucleophile?
