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+2−H2=\dfrac{2C+2-H}{2}.
