The electrophilic addition reaction of hydrogen bromide to 1,3-butadiene above room temperature leads predominantly to the thermodynamically more stable 1,4 adduct, 1-bromo-2-butene, but decreasing the reaction temperature to below room temperature favours the kinetic 1,2 adduct, 3-bromo-1-butene.

When a nucleophile adds to a conjugated carbonyl system, the result is a 1,4-addition. The designations 1,2 and 1,4 are derived from numbering the atoms of the starting compound where the oxygen is labeled “1” and each atom adjacent to the oxygen are sequentially numbered out to the site of nucleophilic addition.
Cyclohexa-1,3-diene is an organic compound with the formula (C 2 H 4)(CH) 4. It is a colorless, flammable liquid. Its refractive index is 1.475 (20 °C, D). It is one of two isomers of cyclohexadiene, the other being 1,4-cyclohexadiene.
Ketene cycloadditions proceed by a concerted, [2+2] cycloaddition mechanism. Ketenes, unlike most alkenes, can align antarafacially with respect to other alkenes. Thus, the suprafacial- antarafacial geometry required for concerted, thermal [2+2] cycloaddition can be achieved in reactions of ketenes. [4]
Conjugated carbonyls react with secondary amines to form 3-aminocarbonyls (3-ketoamines). For example, the conjugate addition of methylamine to cyclohexen-2-one gives the compound 3-(N-methylamino)-cyclohexanone. Conjugated carbonyls react with hydrogen cyanide to 1,4-keto-nitriles. See hydrocyanation of unsaturated carbonyls.
This is due to the abstraction of a hydrogen atom by the alkene from the hydrogen halide (HX) to form the most stable carbocation (relative stability: 3°>2°>1°>methyl), as well as generating a halogen anion. A simple example of a hydrochlorination is that of indene with hydrogen chloride gas (no solvent): [4]
About a decade later, Jurkauskas and Buchwald also utilized dynamic kinetic resolution towards the hydrogenation of conjugated systems. [8] 1,4 addition to cyclic enones is quite common in many reaction schemes, however asymmetric reductions in the presence of an easily epimerizable center adds to the complexity when trying to modify only one center.
An odd number is an indication of the involvement of a charged C atom or of a heteroatom lone pair replacing a CC double bond. Thus, [1,5] and [3,3] shifts become [1,4] and [2,3] shifts with heteroatoms, while preserving symmetry considerations. Hydrogens are omitted in the third example for clarity.
