Electrophilic addition—so you thought you knew it all! Recent research into the title reaction shows that a reexamination of well‐established mechanisms by means of modern theoretical, analytica, and synthetic methods can be altogether worthwhile. For example. A. C. Legon et. al ( Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 1994 , 33 , 1512–1513) recently investigated the interactions between ethene and halogens with an FT microwave spectrometer equipped with a fast‐mixing nozzle.
