Abstract
One of the most general and useful reactions of alkenes and acetylenes tor synthetic purposes is the addition of electrophilic reagents. This chapter is restricted to reactions that proceed through polar intermediates or transition states. Several other classes of addition reactions are also of importance, and these are discussed elsewhere. Nucleophilic additions to electrophilic alkenes were covered in Chapter 1, and cycloadditions involving concerted mechanisms will be encountered in Chapter 6. Free-radical addition reactions are considered in Chapter 10.
