General formulation In the ionic addition of an
unsymmetrical reagent to a double bond, the
positive portion of the adding reagent attaches
in the way that generates the most stable
carbocation.
These reactions are called regioselective
15
Stereochemistry of the addition reaction
Addition of H2SO4 to form the alkyl hydrogen
sulphate X HSO4 Addition of H2O to form
the corresponding alcohol X OH (it
needs acid as a catalyst. Carbocation
transpositions are possible with 10 and 20
carbocations)
A valuable reaction
16
Addition of halogens
Fast, high yield reactions forming vic-dihalides
17
Mechanism
anti addition a stereospecific reaction
18
Stereospecificity
The reaction forms only one steroisomeric form
(trans) but is not enantiospecific

Synthesis of alkynes
30
Synthesis of alkynes
Prepare the alkene (large variety of preparation
methods enables a variety of molecular
architectures) Destroy the double bond by
adding Br2 thus generating a vic-dibromide Doubl
e elimination reaction performed with NaNH2
generates the alkyne No stereochemical
implications gem-dihalides may be used as well
