This set of notes summarizes major reactions of alkenes and their mechanisms. Topics include addition of hydrogen halides, acid-catalyzed hydration, halogenation, and halohydrin formation. The notes also explain regioselectivity and stereochemistry, including Markovnikov vs anti-Markovnikov addition and syn vs anti addition. Additional reactions covered include hydroboration-oxidation, oxymercuration-reduction, dihydroxylation, ozonolysis, and catalytic hydrogenation. The notes highlight key intermediates such as carbocations, halonium ions, and mercurinium ions.
