  7. Halohydrin Formation

  8. Mechanism

  9. Orientation of the OH toward the more stable cabocation (follows Markovnikov addition)

  10. Hydrogenation Addition of Hydrogen

  11. Reduction of Alkenes • Addition of H-H across C=C • Reduction in general is addition of H2 or its equivalent • Requires Pt, Pd, or Ni as powders on carbon and H2 • Hydrogen is first adsorbed on catalyst • Reaction is heterogeneous

  12. Mechanism

  13. Addition of Water to Alkenes • Acid-Catalyzed Hydration • Oxymercuration-Demercuration • Hydroboration-Oxydation

  14. Acid-Catalyzed Hydration

  15. Mechanism

  16. Mechanism

  17. Markovnikov Addition

  18. Oxymercuration-Demercuration • Use mercuric acetate in THF followed by sodium borohydride • Markovnikov orientation • via mercurinium ion

  19. Mechanism

  20. Hydroboration-Oxidation • Herbert Brown invented hydroboration (received the 1979 Nobel Chemistry Prize.) • Borane (BH3) is electron deficient is a Lewis acid • Borane adds to an alkene to give an organoborane

  21. Hydroboration-Oxidation

  22. BH3 Is a Lewis Acid • Six electrons in outer shell • Coordinates to oxygen electron pairs in ethers

  23. Hydroboration-Oxidation Forms an Alcohol from an Alkene • Addition of H-BH2 (from BH3-THF complex) to three alkenes gives a trialkylborane • Oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide in water produces the alcohol derived from the alkene

  24. Orientation in Hydration via Hydroboration • Regiochemistry is opposite to Markovnikov orientation (Anti-Markovnikov) • OH is added to carbon with most H’s • H and OH add with syn stereochemistry, to the same face of the alkene (opposite of anti addition)

  25. Anti-Markovnikov Addition

  26. Syn Addition

  27. Mechanism of Hydroboration • Borane is a Lewis acid • Alkene is Lewis base • Transition state involves anionic development on B • The components of BH3 are across C=C
