He was the one that postulated Markovnikov's rule, which stated that in addition to polar reagent to unsymmetrical alkene the positive part of the polar reagent is attached to the carbon having the highest number of hydrogen while the negative part of the polar reagent is attached to the carbon having the lowest number of hydrogen.
