    The Curtin-Hammett principle describes how the ratio of products formed from reactive intermediates or reactants that interconvert rapidly can depend on the energy difference between the conformers and the transition state energy leading to each product, not just the equilibrium distribution. There are three classes of reactions - those where the less stable conformer reacts more quickly, those where both react at the same rate, and those where the more stable reacts more quickly. Thermodynamic control occurs under reversible conditions where the product ratio depends on relative stability, while kinetic control occurs when the product ratio depends on the relative formation rates rather than stability.

    Curtin- Hammett Principle
    • It is a principle in chemical kinetics proposed by David Yarrow curtin &
    Lowis planck Hammett.
    • It sates that “for a reaction that has a pair of reactive intermediate or
    reactant that interconvert rapidly, each going irreversibly to a
    different product, the product ratio will depend on difference in
    energy between two conformers & free energy of transition state
    going to each product. As a result the product distribution will not
    necessarily reflect the equilibrium distribution of the two
    intermediates.

    3 classes of reaction:
    • Less stable conformer react more quickly:
    • Both reactant react at same rate
    • More stable react more quickly
    Thermodynamic vs Kinetic control
    • Thermodynamic control : Under reversible condition the ratio of
    possible product is determined by the relative stability of each product
    is determined by the relative stability of each product, measured by its
    standard free energy the composition of equilibrium mixture does not
    depend on how fast each product is formed in reaction .

    • Kinetic control : when quantity of each possible product is


    determined by how fast each product has formed & it is not a function
    of relative stability of each product is known as kinetic control.
