Title: E and Z configurations of 2-Chlorobutenedioc
Post by: nemzy on November 21, 2004, 08:47:17 PM
why is that a (Z)-2-chlorobutenedioc acid reacts MUCh faster than a (E)- configuration?

hey buddy
the Z isomer has close carbonyl groups making the other atoms along the C=C stable.
This may just be a possible reason,please check it with Mitch
