+ E—Y E Y C C C C Stereochemistry of Addition to Alkenes In order to know understand stereochemistry of product, you need to know two things: (1) stereochemistry of alkene (cis or trans; Z or E) (2) stereochemistry of mechanism (syn or anti)
Bromine Addition to trans-2-Butene anti addition to trans-2-butene gives meso diastereomer S R Br2 S R meso
Bromine Addition to cis-2-Butene anti addition to cis-2-butene gives racemic mixture of chiral diastereomer S R Br2 + S R 50% 50%
Epoxidation of trans-2-Butene syn addition to trans-2-butene gives racemic mixture of chiral diastereomer S R RCO3H + R S 50% 50%
Epoxidation of cis-2-Butene syn addition to cis-2-butene gives meso diastereomer R S RCO3H S R meso
Stereospecific reaction Of two stereoisomers of a particular starting material, each one gives differentstereoisomeric forms of the product Related to mechanism: terms such assyn addition and anti addition refer tostereospecificity

Atactic Polypropylene random stereochemistry of methyl groups attached to main chain (stereorandom) properties not very useful for fibers etc. formed by free-radical polymerization
Isotactic Polypropylene stereoregular polymer; all methyl groups onsame side of main chain useful properties prepared by coordination polymerization under Ziegler-Natta conditions
Syndiotactic Polypropylene stereoregular polymer; methyl groups alternate side-to-side on main chain useful properties prepared by coordination polymerization under Ziegler-Natta conditions
