Key Concepts

Hydroboration-Oxidation

Hydroboration-oxidation is a two-step reaction that converts alkenes into alcohols. In the first step, a borane reagent adds across the double bond in a syn fashion, following anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity (the boron attaches to the less substituted carbon). The subsequent oxidation step replaces the boron with a hydroxyl group, preserving the stereochemical configuration established during the hydroboration step.

Electrophilic Addition Reactions

This concept involves the reaction of an electron?rich double bond with an electrophile, leading to the formation of a carbocation intermediate or a bridged ion which then reacts with a nucleophile. It is fundamental in understanding how alkenes react with various electrophilic reagents, such as acids or halogens, where the ? bond is broken and new bonds are formed across the former double bond.

Regiochemistry (Markovnikov's Rule)

Regiochemistry dictates which product is favored when an unsymmetrical alkene reacts with an electrophile. Markovnikov's rule states that, during such additions, the hydrogen atom from the electrophile generally attaches to the carbon with more hydrogen substituents, resulting in the more stable carbocation intermediate and thus governing the position of substitution on the alkene.

Catalytic Hydrogenation

Catalytic hydrogenation is a reaction where molecular hydrogen is added to a double bond in the presence of a metal catalyst, such as palladium on carbon (Pd/C). This process typically proceeds with syn addition where both hydrogen atoms add from the same side of the alkene, leading to the saturation of the double bond with predictable stereochemical outcomes.

Halogenation via Bromonium Ion Formation

When alkenes react with halogens such as bromine, the mechanism typically involves the formation of a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate. This intermediate is then attacked by a halide ion, resulting in an anti addition across the double bond. The stereochemistry of the final product is influenced by the backside attack on the bromonium ion, leading to trans stereochemistry in vicinal dihalides.
