This is Organic Chemistry. The addition of Br2 and water to alkenes provides bromohydrins, not vicinal dibromides. Explain why the vicinal dibromide is not formed when water is present. Discuss what reagents can be used to replace water and what types of products are formed. Summarize the general pattern of the reaction. Attach at least one picture of reaction of an alkene with Br2 and one of the other reagents you choose to support your post.
