Avinash Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 When you add X2 to an alkene, after the cyclohalonium ion is formed, the nucleophile will then attack the most or least substituted carbon to open the "ring"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutler Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 from what I remember.... it depends on the conditions: acidic - more subsituted basic - less subsituted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinash Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 from what I remember.... it depends on the conditions: acidic - more subsituted basic - less subsituted I believe thats for epoxide ring openings. For the cyclohalonium, I don't think the acid protonates the Halogen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
