In certain cases, Lewis acid catalyzed addition reactions of alkyl halides with alkenes terminate at the 1:1 product stage. This telomerization reaction has been employed to study the efficiency of initiating systems of carbocationic polymerization and the relative reactivities of alkenes towards carbenium ions. A direct determination of addition rate constants is possible in some cases.
