Preferred Label : addition reaction;
IUPAC definition : A chemical reaction of two or more reacting molecular entities, resulting in a single
reaction product containing all atoms of all components, with formation of two chemical
bonds and a net reduction in bond multiplicity in at least one of the reactants. The
reverse process is called an elimination reaction. The addition may occur at only
one site (α-addition, 1/1/addition), at two adjacent sites (1/2/addition) or at two
non-adjacent sites (1/3/- or 1/4/addition, etc.). For example: If the reagent or
the source of the addends of an addition are not specified, then it is called an addition
transformation.;
