Abstract

Participation of neighboring groups in the process of addition of an electrophilic reagent to the carbon-carbon double bond is analogous to similar participation in substitution. Just as in substitution, neighboring group intervention in the addition process competes with participation of solvent or added solutes. Groups with the largest driving forces in substitution can be expected to compete the best for involvement in addition reactions. ...
