Organic Reactions - Addition

Description:

Characteristic of compounds with multiple bonds.

Br₂ adds to ethene molecule to give addition product (1,2 − dibromoethane)

The addition reactions can also be nucleophilic, electrophilic or free radical addition reaction.

• Nucleophilic addition reaction − CH₃CHO + HCN → CH₃CH(OH)CN (cyanohydrin)

• Electrophilic addition reaction − CH₂ = CH₂ + HBr → CH₃CH₂Br

• Free radical addition reaction −
