E and Z configurations of 2-Chlorobutenedioc

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

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
