Introduction: Addition Reactions to Alkenes
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� How to Understand Additions to Alkenes
� An addition reaction results in the conversion of one π
bond and one σ bond into two σ bonds. Generally,
addition reactions are exothermic.
![Page 6: 6) Chapter 8 Alkenes and Alkynes II](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013108/55cf9a7c550346d033a1f608/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
� How to Understand Additions to Alkenes
� Since π bonds are formed from the overlapping of p
orbitals, π electron clouds are above and below the
plane of the double bond. The electrons are loosely held
and are a source of electron density (nucleophilic).

Introduction: Addition Reactions to Alkenes
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Electrophilic Addition
� C=C and C≡C π bonds are particularly susceptible to
electrophilic reagents (electrophiles).
� Common electrophiles: H+, X+ (X = Cl, Br, I), Hg2+, etc.
� In addition reactions, the alkene changes from a nucleophile
in the first step to an electrophile in the second.
Recall:
Electrophiles can accept e‒
Nucleophile can donate e‒

Electrophilic Addition of Hydrogen Halides to
Alkenes: Mechanism and Markovnikov’s Rule
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Markovnikov’s Rule:
� Addition of HX to an alkene proceeds so that the hydrogen
atom adds to the carbon that already has the most hydrogen
atoms.
� Example:
� Addition of HBr to propene occurs to give 2-bromopropane as
the major product.

CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Free-energy diagram for addition of hydrogen halide to alkene
� The reaction has a highly endergonic first step (rate
determining) and a highly exergonic second step.

Electrophilic Addition of Hydrogen Halides to
Alkenes: Mechanism and Markovnikov’s Rule
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Theoretical Explanation of Markovnikov’s Rule:
� The product with the more stable carbocation intermediate
predominates (because it is formed faster).
� The most stable carbocation is formed fastest because it has a
lower ∆G‡.
� The transition state for the rate determining step (first step) resembles a
carbocation and is stabilized by factors which stabilize carbocations.
![Page 14: 6) Chapter 8 Alkenes and Alkynes II](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013108/55cf9a7c550346d033a1f608/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Electrophilic Addition of Hydrogen Halides to
Alkenes: Mechanism and Markovnikov’s Rule
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Modern Statement of Markovnikov’s Rule:
� In the ionic addition of an unsymmetrical reagent to a double
bond, the positive portion of the adding reagent attaches itself
to a carbon atom of the double bond so as to yield the more
stable carbocation as an intermediate.
� Regioselective Reactions:
� A reaction that can potentially yield two or more
constitutional isomers actually produces only one or a
predominance of one isomer.
� Markovnikov additions of hydrogen halides to alkenes are
regioselective.
![Page 17: 6) Chapter 8 Alkenes and Alkynes II](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013108/55cf9a7c550346d033a1f608/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Electrophilic Addition of Hydrogen Halides to
Alkenes: Mechanism and Markovnikov’s Rule
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Exception to Markovnikov’s Rule:
� Anti-Markovnikov addition occurs when alkenes are treated
with HBr in the presence of peroxides (ROOR).
� Addition occurs via a radical mechanism.
� This anti-Markovnikov addition does not take place with HI,
HCl, and HF, even when peroxides are present.

Addition of Sulfuric Acid to Alkenes
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Addition of cold concentrated sulfuric acid to alkenes leads to
alkyl hydrogen sulfates which are soluble in the acid.
� The addition follows Markovnikov’s rule.
![Page 20: 6) Chapter 8 Alkenes and Alkynes II](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013108/55cf9a7c550346d033a1f608/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Addition of Sulfuric Acid to Alkenes
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Alcohols from Alkyl Hydrogen Sulfates:
� Alkyl hydrogen sulfates can be hydrolyzed by heating with
water.
� The net result is Markovnikov addition of water to an alkene.
![Page 21: 6) Chapter 8 Alkenes and Alkynes II](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013108/55cf9a7c550346d033a1f608/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Addition of Water to Alkenes:
Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� The reaction of alkenes with dilute aqueous acid (e.g. dilute
H2SO2 and H3PO4) leads to Markovnikov addition of water.
![Page 22: 6) Chapter 8 Alkenes and Alkynes II](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013108/55cf9a7c550346d033a1f608/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Addition of Water to Alkenes:
Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� The hydration of alkenes and the dehydration of alcohols are
simply reverse reactions of one other.
H The reaction is governed by the position of all the equilibria.
H Hydration is favored by addition of a small amount of acid and a large amount
of water.
H Dehydration is favored by concentrated acid with very little water present
(removal of water produced also helps favor dehydration).
� Rearrangements:
� One complication associated with alkene hydration is the
occurrence of rearrangements, as carbocation formed initially
may rearrange to a more stable one.
How to avoid
rearrangement?

CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Hydroboration-Oxidation:
� The reaction leads to syn and anti-Markovnikov addition of water to
alkenes.
� Hydroboration: Synthesis of Alkylboranes
� The elements of hydrogen and boron are added across the double bond.
� In practice, a borane complex with the solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF) is often used.
![Page 29: 6) Chapter 8 Alkenes and Alkynes II](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013108/55cf9a7c550346d033a1f608/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Alcohols from Alkenes through Hydroboration-
Oxidation: Anti-Markovnikov Syn Addition
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Hydroboration: Mechanism
� When terminal alkene (e.g. propene) is treated with solution
containing BH3:THF, boron hydride adds successively to three
molecules of alkene.
� Boron becomes attached to the least substituted carbon of the
double bond.
� The bulky boron group can approach the least sterically hindered carbon more
easily.
� This orientation also allows a �+ charge in the transition state to reside at the most
substituted carbon.
� This orientation leads to anti-Markovnikov product.

Addition of Bromine and Chlorine to Alkenes
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Addition produces vicinal dihalides.
� The addition of halogens is an anti addition to the double bond.
![Page 35: 6) Chapter 8 Alkenes and Alkynes II](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013108/55cf9a7c550346d033a1f608/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Addition of Bromine and Chlorine to Alkenes
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Bromine serve as a test for the presence of carbon-carbon multiple

� If bromine is added to an alkene (or alkyne), the red color of the bromine
reagent disappears when an alkene (or alkyne) is present in excess.
� Alkanes do not react appreciably with bromine or chlorine at room
temperature in the dark.
![Page 36: 6) Chapter 8 Alkenes and Alkynes II](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013108/55cf9a7c550346d033a1f608/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Addition of Bromine and Chlorine to Alkenes
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Stereospecific Reactions:
� A reaction is stereospecific if a particular stereoisomeric form of the
starting material reacts in such a way that it gives a specific
stereoisomeric form of the product.
� Example: cis- and trans-2-butene give stereoisomeric products when
halogenated.
� Halogenation of double bonds is stereospecific.

41
Addition of Bromine and Chlorine to Alkenes
CCB1013 Organic Chemistry
� Halohydrin Formation:
� In unsymmetrical alkenes, the bromonium ion will have some of its δ +
charge density on the most substituted of the two carbons.
� The most substituted carbon can best accommodate δ+ charge.
� The water nucleophile will tend to react at the carbon with the most δ+
charge.

Addition of Bromine and Chlorine to Alkynes

� Addition of halogen to alkynes can occur once or twice depending on
how many equivalents of the halogen are added.

through anti addition.
