Addition Of Hydrogen Halides To Alkenes (Hydrohalogenation)

In this reaction, alkene reacts with HX where X can be Br, Cl or I. To predict the product easily, you have to turn double bond into single and add X (Cl, Br or I) to the most substituted carbon from the double bond carbons. This follows Markovnikov’s Rule which states that halogen (or another…
