Brief description of the concept/reaction studied
Bromination of alkenes is an anti addition reaction in which bromonium intermediate is formed.giving exclusively transproduct.The mechanism is important
both reagents pyridinium tribromide and sodium bromide with hyphochlorite. generate Br2 which then adds to the alkene.
1)NaOCl + 2 HCl = NaCl + Cl2 + H2O
Cl2 + 2 NaBr = 2 NaCl + Br2
In aromatic compounds the mechanism of bromination is electrophillic addition.
