Hello aspirant,

Thanks for contacting Careers 360.


Generally, the major product is determined by stability. The more stable a product is, the more amounts it is produced in. Sometimes, major product is determined by the most stable intermmediate. A product with more stable intermmediate is produced in more quantity.

It solely depends on Reaction mechanism (elimination/substitution/free radical) via which major product is determined. There are even rules like Markovnikoff/Zaitsev which help in predicting major product. If possible comment below which specific reaction you are talking about, I shall help you out in predicting the major product.


Thank You

Best Of Luck
