One.

In organic chemistry, an electrophile is a reagent attracted to electrons.Electrophiles are positively charged or neutral species having vacant orbitals that are attracted to an electron rich centre. It participates in a chemical reaction by accepting an electron pair in order to bond to a nucleophile.

Carbon attached to O is electrophylic.
