CHEM 220

This study guide summarizes the key aspects of alkene addition reactions, including the reagents used, the regioselectivity (Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov), and the products formed. The guide provides a concise summary of the reactions, with a focus on the functional groups added to the alkene and the stereochemistry of the addition. The reactions covered include hydrohalogenation, acid-catalyzed hydration, oxymercuration-reduction, hydroboration-oxidation, hydrohalogenation by free radicals, ...

This study guide covers the mechanisms and steps involved in several chemical reactions, including hydrohalogenation, acid-catalyzed hydration, oxymercuration-reduction, hydroboration-oxidation, hydrohalogenation by free radical chain reaction, dehalogenation, halohydrin formation, hydrogenation, ozonolysis, and halogenation. Each reaction is described through a series of numbered steps, detailing the formation of new bonds, the movement of electrons, and the addition or removal of functional gr...
