L27 TOPIC 8. ADDITIONS TO ALKENES AND ALKYNES (Chapter 8 and parts of chapters 7, 10 and 11)
OBJECTIVES • 1. Describe mechanisms for addition reactions of alkenes and alkynes • Predict the structure of the product(s) of addition reactions • Understand the mechanisms which explain the regiochemical and stereochemical outcome of addition reactions • Use combination of substitution, aelimination and addition chemistry to propose synthetic routes to useful value-added compounds

Regiochemistry Markovnikov’s Rule In the addition of HX to an unsymmetrical alkene, the hydrogen adds to the _____________ substituted carbon and the X groups adds to the _____________ substituted carbon.
The Basis of Markovnikov’s Rule: Stability of Carbocations The more substituted carbocation is formed. Remember Hyperconjugation! Mechanistic Restatement of Markovnikov’s Rule In the ionic addition of HX to an unsymmetrical alkene, protonation gives the more stable carbocation as an intermediate.

DESIGNING SYNTHESES One Step Syntheses This is just the opposite of learning reactions - just think backwards. Although one step syntheses are relatively easy, they are harder than learning reactions. Two Step Syntheses This is involves considerable imagination and is quite different than “just the opposite of learning reactions”. You must be able to conceive of the intermediate. However, there is a direct link between the intermediate and both the product and the starting material. Think “retro” (retrosynthesis) - how do you synthesize the product from anything? Can you then synthesize your proposed synthetic intermediate from the starting material?
Three Step Syntheses Three design of three-step organic syntheses requires a little more imagination and can be a little more difficult than two-step syntheses. You must be able to conceive of two intermediates. In this case there may not be a clear link between intermediate one and the product or intermediate two and the starting material. Again “think retro”. Can you think of ANY compounds that could be converted to the product by chemistry you know? Can you then think of one or more compounds that could be converted to these proposed intermediates by chemistry you know? Can any of these second proposed intermediates be synthesized from the starting material?
