Organic Chemistry — Practice Set 5

The reactions of π systems: electrophilic addition to alkenes (Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov, HX, hydration, halogenation via the bromonium ion, halohydrins, rearrangements), the regio- and stereochemistry of hydroboration, oxymercuration, hydrogenation, ozonolysis, epoxidation and dihydroxylation, the chemistry of alkynes (acidity, addition, Lindlar and dissolving-metal reductions), aromaticity and Hückel's rule, and both electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution with directing and activating effects. Structures and mechanisms are shown in inline notation.
