A
chemical reaction resulting in a single reaction product from two or three reacting chemical species,
with formation of two new chemical
bonds to the same atom in one of the reactant
molecularentities. The synonymous term 1/1/addition is also used. For example:
(This particular example can also be viewed as an
insertion reaction). In inorganic chemistry such α-addition reactions,
generally to a metallic
central atom, are known as '
oxidative additions'. α-Addition is the reverse of α-
elimination or 1/1/
elimination.
