product development control

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.P04863
The term is used for reactions under
kinetic control
where the
selectivity
parallels the relative (thermodynamic) stabilities of the products. Product development control is usually associated with a
transition state
occurring late on the
reaction coordinate
.
