Quick Recap — Product Prediction

  • Markovnikov: HBr + propene \to 2-bromopropane; peroxide: HBr + propene \to 1-bromopropane.
  • Ozonolysis: breaks C=C into two carbonyls; hydration of alkynes \to carbonyl (ethyne \to acetaldehyde).
  • Directive effect governs the position of the second substituent on benzene.
  • Monochlorination product count = number of distinct hydrogen environments; DoU =2C+2H2=\dfrac{2C+2-H}{2}.
