Document Summary

R2bh, r is a variety of bulky alkyl substituents. Addition of hx/x2 across a triple bond, where x is a halogen. Kmno4, bond is cleaved forming two carboxylic acids. Addition of h2 across a triple bond in the presence of a metal catalyst. An oxygen atom (hydroxyl group) and a mercury acetate bond to the two carbon atoms of the alkyne. Nucleophile will attack the carbon with the greatest + charge (1 > 2 ) Halogen will add to the most substituted carbon anti-markovnikov regioslectivity. 1 equiv of hx/x2 will form an alkene. Lindlar"s catalyst will form a cis alkene due to syn stereoselectivity.
