Hydrohalogenation
Hydrohalogenation, a fundamental chemical reaction, involves the addition of a hydrogen halide (such as HCl or HBr) to an unsaturated organic compound. This process typically occurs in the presence of a catalyst, often a Lewis acid or a protic solvent. The reaction proceeds through the electrophilic addition mechanism, resulting in the formation of a halogen-substituted alkane. Widely utilized in organic synthesis, hydrohalogenation plays a crucial role in the production of various industrial and pharmaceutical compounds. Understanding its mechanisms and applications is essential for advancing research in organic chemistry and related fields.
