Notes:
Ab initio MP2/6-31G** calculations render the same mechanism for the gas-phase addition of HF and HCl to ethylene in contrast with previous HF/3-21G calculations. The leading interaction is in both cases the electrophilic attachment of the hydrogen atom in the hydrogen halide to a carbon atom in ethylene. The presence of a second molecule of hydrogen halide causes a catalytic effect by allowing an alternative mechanism for electron density rearrangement through ethylene polarization. © 1995 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
