The reaction is oftendone in a mix of organic solvent and water using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) asthe electrophilic bromine source.O OOHN BrBrDMSO, H2O N HOONote that the aryl ring does not react!!!For unsymmterical alkenes, halohydrin formation isMarkovnikov-like in that the orientation of the addition ofX-OH can be predicted by considering carbocation stabilityd CH3more d charge on themore substituted carbonBr d d H2O adds in the second step and adds to thecarbon that has the most d charge and endsup on the more substituted end of the double bondCH3Br2, H2OHOHCH3BrBr adds to the double bond first (formation ofbromonium ion) and is on the least substitutedend of the double bond3

Reaction of Alkenes with Carbenes to give CyclopropanesCarbene: highly reactive, 6-electron species.(sp2-hybridized)Generation and Reaction of Carbenes:CHCl3 KOHCl2C: H2O KCldichlorocarbeneCHCl3, KOHHClClHSimmons-Smith Reaction (cyclopropanation)etherCH2I2 Zn(Cu)I-CH2-Zn-I “H2C:”methylenecarbeneCH2I2, Zn(Cu)HetherH5

The cyclopropanation reaction of an alkene with a carbene takes placein a single step. There is NO intermediate.As such, the geometry of the alkene is preserved in the product.Groups that are trans on the alkene will end up trans on thecyclopropane product. Groups that are cis on the alkene will endup cis on the cyclopropane product.HHRRCH2I2, , genation: Addition of H2 across the p-bond of an alkene togive an alkane. This is a reduction.H2, PtO2ethanol The reaction uses H2 and a precious metal catalyst. The catalysts is not soluble in the reaction media, thus this processis referred to as a heterogenous catalysis. The catalyst assists in breaking the p-bond of the alkene andthe H-H s-bond. The reaction takes places on the surface of the catalyst. Thus, the rateof the reaction is proportional to the surface area of the catalyst. To increase the surface area of the catalyst it is finely dispersed onan inert support such as charcoal (carbon, C) Carbon-carbon p-bond of alkenes and alkynes can be reduced to thecorresponding saturated C-C bond. Other p-bond bond such asC O (carbonyl) and C N are not easily reduced by catalytichydrogenation. The C C bonds of aryl rings are not easily reduced.6
