 • Addition reactions: A substance adds to the multiple bond of an unsaturated

• Addition reactions: A substance adds to the multiple bond of an unsaturated reactant to yield a saturated product that has only single bonds. 5

In an addition reaction the atoms of the reactant molecule attach to the carbon

In an addition reaction the atoms of the reactant molecule attach to the carbon atoms originally joined by a double bond. The double bond becomes a single bond. 6

1. Symmetrical Addition Reactions: In which identical atoms are added to each carbon of

1. Symmetrical Addition Reactions: In which identical atoms are added to each carbon of the double bond. 2. Unsymmetrical Addition Reactions: In which different groups are added to each carbon of the double bond. For example, hydration or hydrohalogenation. 7

1. Symmetrical addition reactions HYDROGENATION: The addition of H-H to C=C HALOGENATION: The addition of Cl 2 or Br 2 to C=C 8

HYDROGENATION catalyst = Pt, Pd, Ni Hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen (H 2)

HYDROGENATION catalyst = Pt, Pd, Ni Hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen (H 2) to a functional group. It requires a catalyst (cat) NO REACTION WITH C=C IN AROMATIC RINGS! 9

HALOGENATION Addition of Cl 2 and Br 2 to alkenes: • Alkenes react with

HALOGENATION Addition of Cl 2 and Br 2 to alkenes: • Alkenes react with the halogens Br 2 and Cl 2 to give the 1, 2 -dihaloalkanes. D: Chem 11moviesaddition. mov 10

2. Un. Symmetrical addition reactions HYDROHALOGENATION : The addition of H-Cl, HBr or H-I to C=C Hydration: The addition of H 2 O to C=C 12

HYDROHALOGENATION Addition of HCl and HBr to alkenes: • Alkenes react with hydrogen bromide

HYDROHALOGENATION Addition of HCl and HBr to alkenes: • Alkenes react with hydrogen bromide and hydrogen chloride to give alkyl bromide or alkyl chloride products. 13

 • Markovnikov rule: In the addition of HX to an alkene, the H

• Markovnikov rule: In the addition of HX to an alkene, the H becomes attached to the carbon that already has the more H’s, and X becomes attached to the carbon that has fewer H’s. D: Chem 11moviesHCLadddition. mov 14

HYDRATION Addition of water (H-OH) to alkenes An alcohol is produced on treatment of the alkene with water in the presence of a strong acid catalyst, such as H 2 SO 4. Markovnikov’s rule applies. 15
