  2. Syn and anti addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syn_and_anti_addition

    1,2-disubstituted Cycloalkene undergoing syn and anti addition. Syn addition is the addition of two substituents to the same side (or face) of a double bond or triple bond, resulting in a decrease in bond order but an increase in number of substituents. [3] Generally the substrate will be an alkene or alkyne.

  3. Hydroboration–oxidation reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroboration–oxidation...

    Hydroboration–oxidation reaction is a two-step hydration reaction that converts an alkene into an alcohol. [1] The process results in the syn addition of a hydrogen and a hydroxyl group where the double bond had been. Hydroboration–oxidation is an anti-Markovnikov reaction, with

  4. Simmons–Smith reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simmons–Smith_reaction

    The reaction can also be quenched with pyridine, which will scavenge ZnI 2 and excess reagents. [24] Methylation of heteroatoms is also observed in the Simmons–Smith reaction due to the electrophilicity of the zinc carbenoids. For example, the use of excess reagent for long reaction times almost always leads to the methylation of alcohols. [25]

  5. 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

  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. Addition reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition_reaction

    An addition reaction is the reverse of an elimination reaction, in which one molecule divides into two or more molecules. For instance, the hydration of an alkene to an alcohol is reversed by dehydration. There are two main types of polar addition reactions: electrophilic addition and nucleophilic addition.

  8. Wacker process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacker_process

    In summary, experimental evidence seems to support that syn-addition occurs under low-chloride reaction concentrations (< 1 mol/L, industrial process conditions), while anti-addition occurs under high-chloride (> 3mol/L) reaction concentrations, probably due to chloride ions saturating the catalyst and inhibiting the inner-sphere mechanism ...

  9. Cyclopropanation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopropanation

    Cyclopropanation is also stereospecific as the addition of carbene and carbenoids to alkenes is a form of a cheletropic reaction, with the addition taking place in a syn manner. For example, dibromocarbene and cis -2-butene yield cis -2,3-dimethyl-1,1-dibromocyclopropane, whereas the trans isomer exclusively yields the trans cyclopropane.
