Halohydrin Formation: Theory, Mechanism, Examples

The video tutorial by Kevin Tolkoff covers halohydrin formation, a type of addition reaction in organic chemistry. It explains the mechanism, stereochemistry, and product prediction of halohydrin formation, emphasizing the addition of hydroxyl and halogen groups to alkenes. The tutorial includes practice problems and examples to reinforce understanding.
