Alkene - Addition Reactions - Crash Course Organic Chemistry

The video explores the impact of piperine and its isomerization, then delves into alkene addition reactions, focusing on halogenation, halohydrin formation, oxymercuration reduction, and hydroboration. Each reaction is analyzed for its mechanism, regioselectivity, and stereochemistry, providing a comprehensive understanding of how different reagents interact with alkenes.
