Reduction
Alkene -> H2/Pd/Pt -> Alkane
Addition HX
Alkene -> HBr -> Markovnikov
Addition X2
Alkene -> X2 -> Anti-Add (Bromonium Ion)
Addition H20
Alkene -> H20 -> OH Adds Mark
Free-Radical Bromination
Alkene -> Anti-Mark
Hydroboration
Alkene -> BH3,H2O2,OH -> Anti-Mark OH add (syn OH/H)
Oxidation
Alkene -> Kmno4 (dil) -> 2 OH (syn)
Ozonolysis (Zn)
Alkene -> O3/Zn -> Aldehyde/Ketone
Ozonolysis (NaBH4)
Alkene -> O3/NaBH4 -> Alcohol
