Thermodynamic control and kinetic control are two concepts used to describe the outcome of chemical reactions based on different factors.
Thermodynamic control refers to the outcome of a reaction that is determined by the thermodynamic stability of the products. The thermodynamic stability is usually related to the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) of the products.
The product formed under thermodynamic control is the one with the lower free energy, making it more stable. Thermodynamic control is often associated with reactions that have reached equilibrium, where the concentrations of reactants an
