Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br₂, to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic
intermediate known as a bromonium ion. The reaction occurs in an anhydrous solvent such as CH₂Cl₂.

Br
In the second step of the reaction, bromide is the nucleophile and attacks at one of the carbons of the bromonium ion
to yield the product. Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the
bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed.
Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization.
