Halohydrin formation from Alkenes

The difference between halogenation and halohydrin formation of alkenes is that later is Regioselective because two different groups are added across alkene. The bromonium ion intermediate is captured and opened by water (or any other nucleophile/solvent) to form oxonium ion which is deprotonated to form halohydrin. The reaction is stereospecific as only anti enantiomers are formed. • #Halohydrin #Sterospecificity #Regioselectivity
