I appreciate the example illustration because it made things so clear! But now I’m wondering, is it usually the case that the thermodynamic product and kinetic product differ? Or does often the thermodynamic product also have the lower Ea? Thank u!
1,4 additions are not thermodynamic additions but can be. If the alkene formed is more stable in the 1,2 form, 1,2 will be the thermodynamic product as well. 1,2 additions are always going to be kinetically favored. From my understanding, at least.
Hi there! For the diene given, the discussed principle stands true. But in general, the kinetic product will always be the one that is formed faster and the thermodynamic product will always be the more stable product. Hope that helps! :)
Hi Ronak! Emily is right, 40 C and above for thermodynamic product and 0 C and below for the kinetic product. Anything in below should give you a mixture of products. These concepts are actually discussed in the videos on our website so you should that out!
Hi there! The transition states were not drawn here since this is a simplified version of the diagram as stated in the beginning of the video. Only the carbocation intermediate was shown. I hope that makes sense :)
I've been studying chemistry for nearly 7 years, and I'm only now understanding this thanks to you. Great video thanks bud!!
You're welcome! :)
how is kinetic control used to affect the outcome of a chemical reaction where several reaction paths are available

Excellent video. Liked and subscribed.
Woohoo! Thanks :D

Sir how much temperature to be consider as high for thermodynamic product....i.e. what is starting limiting temp for this???

Clutch Prep then what abt the temp between 0 C and 40 C
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
So.... Can I use this data to submit my assignment?... I'm confused..
Hey there! Unfortunately, this is a general concept. A graph depends on the factors, reactants etc. you had in your experiment.
Thank you very much!!!
You're welcome!
You said "intermediate" at 1:32 instead of "transition state".

Clutch Prep Oh I see now. Thanks!
thank u
You're welcome! Happy to help! :)
