Predicting Products of an Addition Reaction

Many addition reactions have been covered in this chapter, and in each case, there are several factors to take into account when predicting the products of a reaction. Let s now summarize the factors that are common to all addition reactions In order to predict products properly, the following three questions must be considered  

What are the identities of the groups being added across the double bond  

What is the expected regioselectivity (Markovnikov or ft-Markovnikov addition)  

In order to predict the products, the following three questions must be answered
