  2. Markovnikov's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markovnikov's_rule

    The rule states that with the addition of a protic acid HX or other polar reagent to an asymmetric alkene, the acid hydrogen (H) or electropositive part gets attached to the carbon with more hydrogen substituents, and the halide (X) group or electronegative part gets attached to the carbon with more alkyl substituents. This is in contrast to ...

  3. Alkenyl peroxides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkenyl_peroxides

    The radicals formed from alkenyl peroxides can be utilized in organic radical reactions. For example, they can mediate hydrogen atom abstraction reactions and thus lead to the functionalization of C-H bonds, [7] or they can be used to introduce ketone residues by addition of the alkenyloxyl radicals to alkenes. [8] [9] [10]

  4. Asymmetric hydrogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_hydrogenation

    Alkenes that are particularly amenable to asymmetric hydrogenation often feature a polar functional group adjacent to the site to be hydrogenated. In the absence of this functional group, catalysis often results in low ee's. For some unfunctionalized olefins, iridium with P,N-based ligands) have proven effective, however. Alkene substrates are ...

  5. Hydrohalogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrohalogenation

    A hydrohalogenation reaction is the electrophilic addition of hydrogen halides like hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide to alkenes to yield the corresponding haloalkanes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] If the two carbon atoms at the double bond are linked to a different number of hydrogen atoms, the halogen is found preferentially at the carbon with fewer ...

  6. Milas hydroxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milas_hydroxylation

    The Milas hydroxylation is an organic reaction converting an alkene to a vicinal diol, and was developed by Nicholas A. Milas in the 1930s. [1] [2] The cis-diol is formed by reaction of alkenes with hydrogen peroxide and either ultraviolet light or a catalytic osmium tetroxide, [3] vanadium pentoxide, or chromium trioxide.

  7. Epoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxide

    Association of TBHP with the metal (M) generates the active metal peroxy complex containing the MOOR group, which then transfers an O center to the alkene. [8] Simplified mechanism for metal-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes with peroxide (ROOH) reagents. Vanadium(II) oxide catalyzes the epoxidation at specifically less-substituted alkenes. [9]

  8. Hydrogen peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide

    Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 O 2.In its pure form, it is a very pale blue [5] liquid that is slightly more viscous than water.It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic, usually as a dilute solution (3%–6% by weight) in water for consumer use and in higher concentrations for industrial use.

  9. Juliá–Colonna epoxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliá–Colonna_epoxidation

    The Juliá–Colonna epoxidation is an asymmetric poly-leucine catalyzed nucleophilic epoxidation of electron deficient olefins in a triphasic system.The reaction was reported by Sebastian Juliá at the Chemical Institute of Sarriá in 1980, [1] with further elaboration by both Juliá and Stefano Colonna (Istituto di Chimica Industriale dell'Università, Milan, Italy).
