HCl plus Ethene
CH2=CH2 + H-Cl --> CH3-CH2-Cl an electrophilic addition reaction type: addition reagent type: an electrophile HCl, actually H+, a strong Lewis acidAddition Mechanism

Carbocation Intermediate
an intermediate is formed in the reaction mechanism CH2=CH2 + H+ --> CH3-CH2+ carbocation: a carbon atom with only 3 bonds (6 e-) and a positive charge structure: sp2 hybridized (trigonal)Formation of Chloroethane
the reaction is completed as chloride anion (a nucleophile) adds to the carbocation (an electrophile) CH3-CH2+ + Cl- ---> CH3-CH2-ClAlkene Addition Reactions
pi bonds undergo addition reactions CH2=CH2 + HCl --> CH3CH2Cl in general, C=C + HX --> H-C-C-X alkenes react with hydrogen halides to form alkyl halidesAddition of HX lớn Alkenes

Reaction Notation
reactants -------> products focus on the organic reactants và products show reagents over the arrow show solvent và conditions under the arrow (or show full balanced reaction)Orientation of Addition
regiochemistry: specific orientation of addition (which C gets H, which gets X?) alkene additions are regioselective: one direction of addition is usually preferredMarkovnikov"s Rule
the original: địa chỉ cửa hàng H to the C with more H"s (or khổng lồ the C with fewer alkyl groups) the reason: địa chỉ H+ to form the more stable cation CH3CH=CH2 + HCl ---> CH3CH+CH3 (not CH3CH2CH2+) ---> CH3CHClCH3 (not CH3CH2CH2Cl)Carbocations
Markovnikov Addition Carbocation Rearrangements
Hydration of Alkenes
alkene + water --> alcohol CH2=CH2 + H2O --(H+)--> CH3CH2OH mechanism: step 1: addition of H+ electrophile to pi bond step 2: addition of H2O nucleophile to cationHydration Mechanism Halogenation of Alkenes
CH2=CH2 + Cl2 ---> Cl-CH2-CH2-Cl
mechanism: Cl2 is an electrophile (adds Cl+) then Cl- is a nucleophileAnti Addition
anti stereochemistry: two new groups are added lớn opposite sides of the original pi bondcyclopentene + Br2 ---> trans-1,2-dibromocyclopentane (no cis)
anti - describes the process trans - describes the sản phẩmBromonium Ion
carbocations can be stabilized by bonding lớn a neighboring Br (also works with Cl, but less favorable)
Hydroboration/Oxidation
addition of BH3 followed by H2O2 adds H and OH "anti-Markovnikov" addition completely syn addition consider B as the electrophile that adds first khổng lồ the pi bond addition of B & H is concerted (simultaneous)Reduction of Alkenes
reduction - addition of H2 (or removal of O)CH2=CH2 + H2 ---> CH3-CH3
R-O-H + H2 ---> R-H + H2O
Catalytic Hydrogenation
CH2=CH2 + H2 ---> CH3-CH3
requires an active catalyst, typically Pt, Pd, Ni, PtO2 reaction occurs on the surface both Hs are delivered lớn the same side of the pi bondSyn Addition
syn stereochemistry: two new groups are added to lớn the same side of the original pi bond1,2-dimethylcyclohexene + H2 --(cat)-->cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane(no trans)
syn - describes the process cis - describes the hàng hóaOxidation of Alkenes
oxidation - addition of O (or removal of H2) RCH2OH ---> RCH=O ---> RCOOH there are a wide variety of oxidizing agents: O2, O3, KMnO4, CrO3, Na2Cr2O7 metals in high positive oxidation states
