Expert Solution
Step 1

Thermodynamic product -

The thermodynamic product is the most stable product with the lowest energy (the relative stability of the products).Usually it occurs at room or high temperature. Thermodynamic product is major and stable product.

 

Kinetic Product -

Kinetic products form the fastest. They usually occur at or below 0°C. This is also known as the 1,2-adduct because the substituents are added to the first and second carbons. Kinetic products contain a terminal double bond and the reaction is irreversible.

Kinetic product is minor and less stable product.
