Abstract
A simple and convenient procedure for the addition of hydrogen chloride to a variety of olefins is described. Trimethylchlorosilane and water are used to generate the hydrogen chloride in the presence of the olefin to produce the desired chloride in high yield. Regioselectivity is high: electrophilic addition dominates for simple olefins and nucleophilic addition prevails for alpha,beta - unsaturated olefins. Conventional glassware is used and product isolation is straightforward using distillation techniques.
