Question

Draw and explain potential energy diagram for the reaction of addition of HCl
to 1, 3- butadiene at a low and high temperatures.

Answer 1

Answer on question #76103

At low temperatures, the product distribution will be related to the relative energies of the (1,2-) and (1,4-) transition states [ $E_{a} =$ activation energy ]

This is referred to as "kinetic control"
