Kinetic Vs. Thermodynamic Product

[zwander]

Thermodynamic product is favored by high temperature because it allows reverse reactions and over time more thermo created right?

Also, what are the different cases where you could potentially have kinetic/thermo (like what are the high yield topic reactions)?

One more question as well! Do free radicals undergo rearrangement to form more stable free radicals!?

thermodynamic product has a higher activation energy, hence requires more temperature, forms slower but leads to a more stable product.

kinetic product has a lower activation energy, forms faster and leads to less stable product.

Of course, in many reactions, the thermodynamic product IS the kinetic product.
