9.1 Addition Reactions• Addition is
the opposite of elimination
• A pi bond is converted to a sigma bond
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-2 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.1 Addition Reactions• A pi bond will often act as a Lewis base (as a nucleophile
or as a Brønsted-Lowry base)
• Why are pi bonds more reactive in this sense than sigma bonds?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-3 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.2 Addition / Elimination Equilibria• Because an addition is the reverse of an elimination,
often the processes are at equilibrium
• An equilibrium is a thermodynamic expression• We assess ΔG (the free energy) to determine which side
the equilibrium will favor
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-4 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.2 Addition / Elimination Equilibria
• To determine which side the equilibrium will favor, we must consider both enthalpy and entropy
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-5 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.2 Addition / Elimination Equilibria
• Typical addition reactions have a –ΔH. WHY?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-6 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
Bonds broken – bonds formed = 166 kcal/mol – 185 kcal/mol = –19 kcal/mol
9.2 Addition / Elimination Equilibria
• Typical addition reactions have a –ΔH• Will heat be absorbed by or released into the
surroundings?• What will the sign (+/-) be for ΔSsurr?• Will the enthalpy term favor the reactants or products?• The heat change (ΔH) will remain roughly constant
regardless of temperature
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-7 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.2 Addition / Elimination Equilibria
• Having a –ΔH (or a +ΔSsurr) favors the addition reaction rather than the elimination reaction
• To get ΔG (or ΔStot) and make a complete assessment, we must also consider the entropy of the system (ΔSsys)
• What will the sign (+/-) be for ΔSsys? WHY?
• What will the sign (+/-) be for -TΔSsys? • Will the enthalpy term favor the reactants or products?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-8 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.2 Addition / Elimination Equilibria• Plugging into the formula gives…
• To favor addition, a –ΔG (or a +ΔStot) is needed• How can the temperature be adjusted to favor addition?• To favor elimination (the reverse reaction in this
example), a +ΔG (or a –ΔStot) is needed• How can the temperature be adjusted to favor
elimination?

9.3 Hydrohalogenation• Note the temperature used in this addition reaction
• Does it matter whether the Br adds to the right side of the C=C double bond or whether it adds to the left?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-10 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.3 Hydrohalogenation• Regiochemistry becomes important for asymmetrical
alkenes
• In 1869, Markovnikov showed that in general, H atoms tend to add to the carbon already bearing more H atoms
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-11 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.3 Hydrohalogenation• Markovnikov’s rule could also be stated by saying that in
general, halogen atoms tend to add to the carbon that is more substituted with other carbon groups
• This is a regioselective reaction, because one constitutional isomer is formed in greater quantity than another
• Draw the structure of the minor product
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-12 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.3 Hydrohalogenation• Anti-Markovnikov products are observed when reactions
are performed in the presence of peroxides such as H2O2
• Why would some reactions follow Markovnikov’s rule, while other reactions give Anti-Markovnikov products?
• The answer must be found in the mechanism• Practice with conceptual checkpoint 9.1
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-13 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.3 Hydrohalogenation Mechanism

• Practice with conceptual checkpoint 9.6
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-19 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.3 Rearrangements• Rearrangements (hydride or methyl shifts) occur for the
carbocation if the shift makes it more stable
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-20 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.3 Rearrangements
• A mixture of products limits synthetic utility• With an INTRAmolecular rearrangement, WHY isn’t the
rearrangement product an even greater percentage?• How might [Cl-] be used to alter the ratio of products?• Practice with SkillBuilder 9.2

H2O
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-30 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.5 Oxymercuration-Demercuration• Because rearrangements often produce a mixture of
products, the synthetic utility of Markovnikov hydration reactions is somewhat limited
• Oxymercuration-demercuration is an alternative process that can yeild Markovnikov products without the possibility of rearrangement
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-31 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.5 Oxymercuration-Demercuration• Oxymercuration begins with mercuric acetate
• How would you classify the mercuric cation? – As a nucleophile or an electrophile? – As a Lewis acid or Lewis base?
• How might an alkene react with the mercuric cation?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-32 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.5 Oxymercuration-Demercuration• Similar to how we saw the alkene attack a proton
previously, it can also attack the mercuric cation
• Resonance stabilizes the mercurinium ion and the carbocation. Draw a reasonable resonance hybrid
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-33 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.5 Oxymercuration-Demercuration• The mercurinium ion is also a good electrophile, and it
can easily be attacked by a nucleophile, even a weak nucleophile such as water
• NaBH4 is generally used to replace the –HgOAc group with a –H group via a free radical mechanism
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-34 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

9.6 Hydroboration-Oxidation• Hydroboration-Oxidation reactions achieve syn addition
• Anti addition is NOT observed
• To answer WHY, we must investigate the mechanism
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-36 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.6 Hydroboration-Oxidation• Let’s examine how this new set of reagents might react• The BH3 molecule is similar to a carbocation but not as
reactive, because it does not carry a formal charge
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-37 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.6 Hydroboration-Oxidation• Because of their broken octet, BH3 molecules undergo
intermolecular resonance to help fulfill their octets
• The hybrid that results from the resonance (diborane) involves a new type of bonding called banana bonds
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-38 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

surrounded by solution, the catalyst is heterogeneous. WHY?
• Homogeneous catalysts also exist
• What advantage might a homogeneous catalyst have?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-51 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.7 Asymmetric Hydrogenation• In 1968, Knowles modified Wilkinson’s
catalyst by using a chiral phosphine ligand
• A chiral catalyst can produce one desired enantiomer over another. HOW?
• Why would someone want to synthesize one enantiomer rather than a racemic mixture?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-52 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.7 Asymmetric Hydrogenation• A chiral catalyst allows
one enantiomer to be formed more frequently in the reaction mixture
• Some chiral catalysts give better enantioselectivity than others. WHY?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-53 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.7 Asymmetric Hydrogenation• BINAP is a chiral ligand that gives pronounced
enantioselectivity
• For any reaction, stereoselectivity can only be achieved if at least one reagent (reactant or catalyst) is chiral

a C=C double bond
• Halogenation is a key step in the production of PVC
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-56 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.8 Halogenation• Halogenation with Cl2 and Br2 is generally effective, but
halogenation with I2 is too slow and halogenation with F2 is too violent
• Halogenation occurs with anti addition
• Given the stereospecificity, is it likely to be a concerted or a multi-step process?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-57 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.8 Halogenation• Let’s look at the reactivity of Br2. Cl2 is similar• It is nonpolar, but it is polarizable. WHY?• What type of
attraction exists between the Nuc:1- and Br2?
• Does the Br2 molecule have a good leaving group attached to it?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-58 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-63 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.8 Halohydrin Formation• Halohydrins are formed when halogens (Cl2 or Br2) are
added to an alkene with WATER as the solvent• The bromonium ion forms from Br2 + alkene, and then it
is attacked by water
• Why is the bromonium attacked by water rather than a Br1- ion? Is water a better nucleophile?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-64 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.8 Halohydrin Formation• A proton transfer completes the mechanism producing a
neutral halohydrin product
• The net reaction is the addition of –X and –OH across a C=C double bond
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-65 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.8 Halohydrin Regioselectivity• The –OH group adds to the more substituted carbon
• The key step that determines regioselectivity is the attack of water on the bromonium ion
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-66 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.8 Halohydrin Regioselectivity• When water attacks the bromonium ion, it will attack
the side that goes through the lower energy transition state

Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-68 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.9 Anti Dihydroxylation• Dihydroxylation occurs when two –OH groups are added
across a C=C double bond
• Anti dihydroxylation is achieved through a multi-step process
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-69 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.9 Anti Dihydroxylation• First, an epoxide is formed
• Replacing the relatively unstable O-O single bond is the thermodynamic driving force for this process
• Is there anything unstable about an epoxide?• Is an epoxide likely to react as a nucleophile (Lewis base)
or as an electrophile (Lewis acid)?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-70 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.9 Anti Dihydroxylation• Water is a
poor nucleophile, so the epoxide is activated with an acid
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-71 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.9 Anti Dihydroxylation• Note the similarities between three key intermediates
• Ring strain and a +1 formal charge makes these structures GREAT electrophiles
• They also each yield anti products, because the nucleophile must attack from the side opposite the leaving group
• Practice with SkillBuilder 9.7Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-72 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.10 Syn Dihydroxylation• Like other syn additions, syn dihydroxylation adds across
the C=C double bond in ONE step
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-73 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.10 Syn Dihydroxylation• Because OsO4 is expensive and toxic, conditions have
been developed where the OsO4 is regenerated after reacting, so only catalytic amounts are needed
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-74 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.10 Syn Dihydroxylation• MnO4
1- is similar to OsO4 but more reactive
• Syn dihydroxylation can be achieved with KMnO4 but only under mild conditions (cold temperatures)
• Diols are often further oxidized by MnO41-, and MnO4
1- is reactive toward many other functional groups as well
• The synthetic utility of MnO41- is limited
• Practice with conceptual checkpoint 9.33Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-75 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.11 Oxidative Cleavage with O3

Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-86 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.13 Multi-Step Syntheses• How can the alcohol be eliminated to give the less
stable Hoffmann product?
• H3O+ will give the Zaitsev product• OH- is too poor of a leaving group to use the bulky
base, t-BuOK • The OH must first be converted to a better leaving
group, and then t-BuOK can be used
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-87 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9.13 Multi-Step Syntheses
