Study Notes

Dehydrohalogenation

  • Involves an elimination mechanism, specifically E2, where a hydrogen halide (HX) is removed from a substrate.

Addition of HX to Double Bonds

  • Results in an electrophilic addition reaction, where HX adds across a carbon-carbon double bond.

Nucleophilic Action in Addition Reactions

  • The π bond of the C=C double bond acts as the nucleophile during addition reactions, attacking electrophiles such as HX.

Formation of Halohydrins

  • Occurs through a halohydrin reaction, typically involving the addition of both a halogen (X) and water (H2O) to an alkene, which can be catalyzed by an acid.

Acid-Catalyzed Dehydration of Alcohols

  • Follows a mechanism known as E1, leading to the formation of alkenes when alcohols are treated with acids, resulting in the removal of water (H2O).
