nemzy Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 why is that a (Z)-2-chlorobutenedioc acid reacts MUCh faster than a (E)- configuration?
apathy Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 in what reaction? what's the mechanism? is it a substitution (of the chloro)?
blike Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Perhaps steric hinderance is coming into play. We'd need to see the molecule and the mechanism to be sure though..
