Chemistry LibreTexts - Nucleophilic Addition Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones
This discussion is very good for understanding the general scheme for nucleophilic addition to aldehydes and ketones. Acetal formation, imine formation, enamine formation and cyanohydrin formation all start out the same way.
