Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the variation in the stereochemistry of addition as the alkene structure varied is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Addition of halogens into alkenes is stereoselective, that is, it depends upon the type of the alkene present. If the alkene is a cis-alkene, anti-addition of halide ions take place and a racemic mixture is formed. If the alkene is a trans-alkene, syn-addition of halide ions occur and a meso compound is formed.
