  4. Scope limited to Cl2 and Br2 • F2 addition proceeds with explosive violence • I2 addition is endothermic: vicinal diiodidesdissociate to an alkene and I2

  5. 6.15Stereochemistry of Halogen Addition • anti addition

  8. 6.16Mechanism of Halogen Addition to Alkenes: Halonium Ions

  9. Mechanism is electrophilic addition • Br2 is not polar, but it is polarizable • two steps (1) formation of bromonium ion (2) nucleophilic attack on bromonium ion by bromide

  10. Relative Rates of Bromination • ethylene H2C=CH2 1 • propene CH3CH=CH2 61 • 2-methylpropene (CH3)2C=CH2 5400 • 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (CH3)2C=C(CH3)2 920,000 • More highly substituted double bonds react faster.Alkyl groups on the double bond make itmore “electron rich.”
