Addition Reaction of an Alkene
carbon-carbon double bond breaks, and two new atoms or groups are added across the double bond, converting it into a single bond.

Addition Reaction Types
Br2
Br2/H2O
MCPBA/ H+ H2O
O5O4/NaHSO3
Br2 (addition reaction)
Product: 2 Br’s. Pie bond broken, one Br coming to you, the other Br going away

Br2/H2O (Addition Reaction)
Product: Br & OH. Pie bond broken, one group going away from you and another coming towards you.

Diol: MCPBA/ H+ H2O (addition reaction)
Product: 2 OH’s, Pie bond broken, one OH coming to you, one going away

OSO4/ NaHSO3 (addition reaction)
Product: 2 OH’s, pie bond broken, both coming towards you or both going away from you

H2 & Pd/C (Reduction)
Product: Pie bond is broken, goes from being a cyclohexene to a cyclohexane.

CHCl3/ KOH
Product: pie bond is broken, both Carbons attach to a new carbon, and both Chlorines are also connected to that new Carbon, with one Chlorine coming towards you and one away from you.

CH2I2 & Zn/Cu (Simmon’s Smith Reaction)
Product: pie bond is broken, both Carbons are attached to a new carbon (can draw regular bond lines unless stereochemistry is asked, in which case both are coming towards you OR going away from you).

O3 & Zn/HOAc
Product: Find the double bond, Cut it, Put an oxygen (=O) on each carbon.

Oxymercuration
Hg(OAc)2, THF/H2O
NaBH4
Oxymercuration
BH3, THF/H2O
H2O2/ OH-
(Major Product, OH gets added to MOST substituted Carbon)

Hydroboration
BH3, THF/ H2O
H2O2/ OH-
(Minor product, OH goes to LEAST substituted Carbon)
