anti-Markovnikov
Halogen avoids carbon
Anti-Markovnikov describes a chemical reaction pattern where an added group attaches to the more substituted carbon of a double bond—the opposite of the usual Markovnikov rule.
In organic chemistry, this typically occurs in certain radical reactions or hydroboration: The anti-Markovnikov addition placed the hydroxyl group on the terminal carbon.
The term honors Russian chemist Vladimir Markovnikov by naming what violates his rule.
