When will a carbon atom act as a nucleophile; when as an electrophile?
Carbon oxidation state varied from +4 to -4 state
when carbon is bounded to an electronegative atom such as halogens, nitrogen or oxygen, the shared pair of electrons are shifted more towards the electronegative atom. Thus carbon in such cases have a +ve charge on it and acts as a electrophile for example in alkyl halides.
when the leaving group attached to carbon leaves with a +ve charge, such that leaving behind its shared pair of electron. The carbon gets a -ve charge and in such cases it acts as a nucleophile for example in grignard reagents.
When will a carbon atom act as a nucleophile; when as an electrophile?

In the introduction, hydroxide ion acts as a nucleophile by attacking a carbon atom in 2- bromooctane (Eq. 1). Why is that specific carbon atom a good target? Why doesn’t the hydroxide attack any of the other carbon atoms in 2-bromooctane? Why can the carbon atom that is attacked be considered “electron-poor”?
Which is the nucleophile and
which is the electrophile of this Biginelli reaction?
Your Biginelli reaction is performed under Lewis-acidic conditions. One possible step in the synthesis, as shown in the lab manual, is the Knovenagel condensation between benzaldehyde and ethyl acetoactate: Ob el con OEt 0OET Consider the mechanism of the Knovenagel reaction, and the reaction conditions. Then, from the list of species shown below, choose the electrophile and the nucleophile that would be involved in the carbon-carbon bond-forming...
