New cards
Electrophilic addition to alkenes
Alkenes can act as nucleophiles, and halogens can add to them
2
New cards
Stereospecificity
The two groups always add anti to one another
Stereospecific but not asymmetric – gives two enantiomers out of four possible diastereomers

New cards
Electrophilic addition: mechanism
4
New cards
Specificity
Nucleophile must attack sigma orbital of C-X bond - backside attack
More substituted carbon is better at supporting positive charge
5
New cards
Electrophilic addition: energies
6
New cards
Electrophilic addition to alkynes
Alkynes can also act as nucleophiles, and halogens can add to them
