Key Concepts

Electrophilic Addition Reaction

This is a fundamental reaction type in organic chemistry where an electrophile reacts with a molecule containing a double or triple bond, resulting in the addition of atoms or groups across the multiple bond. In alkenes, the electron-rich double bond attracts electrophiles, leading to the formation of new bonds and a saturated product.

Hydrogen Halide Addition Reactions

This reaction involves the addition of hydrogen halides (such as HBr or HCl) to alkenes, where the pi electrons of the double bond attack the hydrogen atom of the acid, thereby generating a carbocation intermediate. The halide ion then rapidly reacts with this intermediate to yield a haloalkane.

Markovnikov's Rule

Markovnikov's rule is a guiding principle in addition reactions to unsymmetrical alkenes, stating that the hydrogen atom attaches to the carbon with more hydrogen atoms already present, while the halide attaches to the carbon with fewer hydrogen atoms. This rule helps predict the regiochemistry of the product in hydrogen halide additions.

Carbocation Intermediate Formation

During the electrophilic addition of a hydrogen halide to an alkene, the first step typically involves the formation of a positively charged carbocation intermediate. The stability of this intermediate plays a key role in determining the outcome and regiochemistry of the reaction.
