Question

Electrophilic addition reaction of conjugated dienes that occur at high temperature and/or long reaction times (reversible conditions) are said to be under kinetic control. Group of answer choices True False

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrophilic addition reactions may be under kinetic or thermodynamic control. Whether the reaction is under kinetic or thermodynamic control is easily deducible from the reaction time.

Shorter reaction time often reflect kinetic control while longer reaction reaction times favour thermodynamic control.

Hence, electrophilic addition reaction of conjugated dienes that occur at high temperature and/or long reaction times (reversible conditions) are said to be under thermodynamic and not kinetic control.
