activation energies.

Which of the following statements about this reaction is true?
+ HCI
a. The major product under kinetic control is the 1,2 addition product because of the
stability of the carbocation intermediate in that pathway.
b. The major product under kinetic control is the 1,2 addition product because of a more
stable transition state for chloride attack.

stability of the carbocation intermediate in that pathway.
d. The major product under kinetic control is the 1,4 addition product because of a more
stable transition state for chloride attack.
e. Neither carbocation stability nor transition state stability for chloride attack play a role in
determining the preferred product under kinetic control.
