Describe the halogens (I, Br, Cl, F) in terms of activating/deactivating, EWG/EDG, and directing effects.

 It hydrogenates alkynes to cis alkenes.

Term
How do you hydrogenate an alkyne to a trans alkene?

Term
What do we use NBS for?
Definition
Adding a single Br to an alkene, as opposed to creating a viinal dihalide, as occurs with excess Br. NBS keeps the concentration of Br very low. Br will add wherever a radical can form (on allyic Hs).
