  2. Addition reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition_reaction

    Top to bottom: electrophilic addition to alkene, nucleophilic addition of nucleophile to carbonyl and free-radical addition of halide to alkene. Depending on the product structure, it could promptly react further to eject a leaving group to give the addition–elimination reaction sequence. Addition reactions are useful in analytic chemistry ...

  3. Free-radical addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_addition

    In organic chemistry, free-radical addition is an addition reaction which involves free radicals. These reactions can happen due to the free radicals having an unpaired electron in their valence shell, making them highly reactive. [1] Radical additions are known for a variety of unsaturated substrates, both olefinic or aromatic and with or ...

  4. Enone–alkene cycloadditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enone–alkene_cycloadditions

    These side reactions can often be minimized by a judicious choice of reaction conditions. Dissolved oxygen is avoided since it is photoreactive. A variety of solvents can be used. Acetone is a useful solvent, because it can serve as a triplet sensitizer. Alkane-based solvents are selected to be free of alkenes. Excitation wavelength is important.

  5. Kharasch addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharasch_addition

    The Kharasch addition is an organic reaction and a metal-catalysed free radical addition of CXCl 3 compounds (X = Cl, Br, H) to alkenes. [1] The reaction is used to append trichloromethyl or dichloromethyl groups to terminal alkenes. The method has attracted considerable interest, [2] but it is of limited value because of narrow substrate scope ...

  6. Markovnikov's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markovnikov's_rule

    The addition of the hydrogen ion to one carbon atom in the alkene creates a positive charge on the other carbon, forming a carbocation intermediate. The more substituted the carbocation, the more stable it is, due to induction and hyperconjugation. The major product of the addition reaction will be the one formed from the more stable intermediate.

  7. Syn and anti addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syn_and_anti_addition

    In organic chemistry, syn-and anti-addition are different ways in which substituent molecules can be added to an alkene (R 2 C=CR 2) or alkyne (RC≡CR).The concepts of syn and anti addition are used to characterize the different reactions of organic chemistry by reflecting the stereochemistry of the products in a reaction.

  8. Cycloalkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloalkene

    Reactions of conjugated double-bond systems can be synthesized into cycloalkenes through electrocyclic reactions. [13] Addition of heat or photolysis causes a reversible reaction that causes one pi bond to become a sigma bond, which closes the ring and creates a cycloalkene. [11] Formation of a cycloalkane via an electrocyclic reaction

  9. Wacker process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacker_process

    This net reaction can also be described as follows: [PdCl 4] 2 − + C 2 H 4 + H 2 O → CH 3 CHO + Pd + 2 HCl + 2 Cl −. This conversion is followed by reactions that regenerate the Pd(II) catalyst: Pd + 2 CuCl 2 + 2 Cl − → [PdCl 4] 2− + 2 CuCl 2 CuCl + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ O 2 + 2 HCl → 2 CuCl 2 + H 2 O. Only the alkene and oxygen are consumed.
