16.4 Electrophilic Addition to Conjugated Dienes | Organic Chemistry

Chad covers the electrophilic addition to conjugated dienes in this lesson. He shows how when adding a single equivalent of a reagent how to identify the most stable carbocation intermediate and how to predict both the thermodynamic and kinetic products and the conditions under which either would be favored.
