Reactivity of C=C C Electrons in pi bond are loosely held Electrophiles are attracted to the pi electrons Carbocation intermediate forms Nucleophile adds to the carbocation Net result is addition to the double bond > Chapter 8
Chapter 8 2 Reactivity of C=C • Electrons in pi bond are loosely held. • Electrophiles are attracted to the pi electrons. • Carbocation intermediate forms. • Nucleophile adds to the carbocation. • Net result is addition to the double bond. =>
Electrophilic Addition C Step 1: Pi electrons attack the electrophile E C+ Step 2: Nucleophile attacks the carbocation E E Nuc -C-C+ t Nuc C-C hapter 8
Chapter 8 3 Electrophilic Addition • Step 1: Pi electrons attack the electrophile. C C + E + C E C + C E C + + Nuc: _ C E C Nuc => • Step 2: Nucleophile attacks the carbocation

Regiospecificity C Markovnikov' s Rule: The proton of an acid adds to the carbon in the double bond that already has the most H's. Rich get richer” More general Markovnikov's Rule: In an electrophilic addition to an alkene, the electrophile adds in such a way as to form the most stable intermediate HCL HBr and hi add to alkenes to form Markovnikov products Chapter 8
Chapter 8 7 Regiospecificity • Markovnikov’s Rule: The proton of an acid adds to the carbon in the double bond that already has the most H’s. “Rich get richer.” • More general Markovnikov’s Rule: In an electrophilic addition to an alkene, the electrophile adds in such a way as to form the most stable intermediate. • HCl, HBr, and HI add to alkenes to form Markovnikov products. =>
Free-Radical Addition of hbr C In the presence of peroxides, HBr adds to an alkene to form the anti Markovnikov"product Only HBr has the right bond energy ·HC| bond is too strong HI bond tends to break heterolytically to form ions Chapter 8
Chapter 8 8 Free-Radical Addition of HBr • In the presence of peroxides, HBr adds to an alkene to form the “antiMarkovnikov” product. • Only HBr has the right bond energy. • HCl bond is too strong. • HI bond tends to break heterolytically to form ions. =>
