In a Markovnikov Addition reaction, a halogen like Bromine is reacted with an Alkene which causes the π-bond to break forming an Haloalkane . This makes the Hydrocarbon more reactive and Bromine as it turns out, is a good Leaving Group in further chemical reactions such as Nucleophilic Aliphatic Substitution reactions and Elimination Reaction s Several types of halogenation exist, including: An example of halogenation can be found in the Organic Synthesis of the anesthetic Halothane from Trichloroethylene which involves a high temperature bromination in the second step : SEE ALSO
