Oxymercuration reduction - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

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, ...
