The regioselectivity of the addition of molecular bromine chloride to alkenes is dependent on both the steric and electronic effects of the alkyl substituent.In contrast, the regioselectivity of the addition of dichlorobromate (1-) ion to alkenes is controlled mainly by the steric effect of the substituent.
