Addition Reaction




There are two main types of polar addition reactions:

Other non-polar addition reactions exists as well:

Addition reactions are limited to chemical compounds that have multiply-bonded atoms:

An addition reaction is the opposite of an Elimination Reaction . For instance the Hydration Reaction of an Alkene and the dehydration of an Alcohol are addition-elimination pairs.


ADDITION-ELIMINATION REACTION

In the related Addition-elimination reaction an addition reaction is followed by an Elimination Reaction . In the majority of reactions it involves addition of nucleophiles to carbonyl compounds in what is called Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution ''Reaction-Map of Organic Chemistry'' Murov, Steven. J. Chem. Educ. '''2007''', 84, 1224 Abstract .

Other addition-elimination reactions are:
