**NOTE: reactions with blue and black text means you have two ways of obtaining that
product.

For the reactions that have “+ EN” it means we also get the enantiomer; it is a racemic
mixture.

Reminders: Alkenes are nucleophiles - they will react with electronphiles.


Be careful with rearrangements when we have carbocations.
Know Markovnikov vs. Anti-Markovnikov products
Know syn vs. trans addition.
