Hydration of aldehydes and ketones can be catalyzed by acid or base. Bases catalyze hydration by: O protonating the carbonyl oxygen making the carbonyl group more electrophilic employing hydroxide ion, which is a better nucleophile than water making the carbonyl group less electrophilic shifting the equilibrium position of the reaction to favor products
