| Apr 11, 2018 at 23:58 | comment | added | dlq | @orthocresol It's tricky to emphasize the instability of the transition state without bringing up the instability of the intermediates, but I agree it's important to avoid confusing the kinetic role of transition state stability vs the thermodynamic role of intermediate stability. Do you know of any examples where an transition state is destabilized but an intermediate isn't, or vice versa? p.s. gimme a break i dont have a diploma yet :^P | |
| Apr 11, 2018 at 23:51 | comment | added | orthocresol | Nice summary. I would just add a cautionary note about intermediates vs transition states: in this case, the possible factors which destabilise the intermediate (ring strain and antiaromaticity) also destabilise the corresponding transition state (by the Hammond postulate). | |
