Electrophilic Addition

Most addition reactions to alkenes follow the mechanism of electrophilic addition.
  1. Halogenation: Addition of elementary bromine or chlorine to alkenes yield vicinal Dibromo- and dichloroalkanes, respectively. The decoloration of a solution of bromine in water is an analytical test for the presence of alkenes:
    CH2=CH2 + Br2 → BrCH2-CH2Br
  2. Hydrohalogenation: Addition of hydrohalic acids like HCl or HBr to alkenes yield the corresponding haloalkanes.
    CH3-CH=CH2 + HBr → CH3-CHBr-CH3
    If the two carbon atoms at the double bond are linked to a different number of hydrogen atoms, the halogen is found preferentially at the carbon with less hydrogen substituents (Markovnikov's rule).
