Consider the energy diagram for the multistep reaction shown here.Which statement about this diagram is not true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The diagram shows that formation of C is under kinetic control, not under thermodynamic control. Therefore, option E is not true. Option A is true because C is shown at the top of the energy hill, indicating that it is the kinetic product. Option B is true because D is shown at a lower energy level than C, indicating that it is the thermodynamic product. Option C is true because the energy difference between C and D is not large, indicating that they can potentially interconvert if given enough energy. Option D is true because the formation of D is under thermodynamic control.
