Electrophilic hydration is the act of adding electrophilic hydrogen from a non-nucleophilic strong acid (a reusable catalyst, examples of which include sulfuric and phosphoric acid) and …

An alkene does not react with pure water, since water is not acidic enough to allow the hydrogen to act as an electrophile to start a reaction. However, with the presence of small amount of an …

Apply the electrophilic addition to reactions of alkenes and alkynes with halogen acids and water. Define the concepts: regioselectivity, stereoselective and stereospecific reactions, and …

Proton H+ will react with alkene molecule and form carbocation, which can react with water. For the addition of water we need acid which will provide electrophile H+ ions. To understand the …

Mechanism diagram 69a shows the acid catalysed electrophilic addition of water to ethene. In step (1) The oxonium ion is the electrophile (H3O+) by nature of the highly polar O-H bond (H …

In organic chemistry, an electrophilic addition (AE) reaction is an addition reaction where a chemical compound containing a double or triple bond has a π bond broken, with the …

Most of these reactons are electrophilic additions, or the addition of electrophiles across the double bond. Several of these reactions amount to addition of water to the p-bond. The result …

The addition of water to an alkene in the presence of a catalytic amount of strong acid leads to the formation of alcohols (hydroxy‐alkanes). This reaction proceeds via a standard carbocation …

When bromine comes into contact with a carbon-carbon double bond, electrophilic addition takes place. This is the basis of the ‘bromine water test’ for an alkene. If an alkene is present, …
