Electrophilic addition occurs when an electrophile adds to the π bond of an alkene or alkyne, forming a more stable intermediate or transition state. Examples include halogenation (Br2) and hydrohalogenation (HX). Markovnikov’s rule often applies, directing the electrophile to the more substituted carbon. Understanding these reactions is crucial for building complex molecules from simple unsaturated precursors.
