No one I know of understands this, but the textbooks are clearly wrong.

Can we use energies of stable structures that we “understand” to
infer the energies of other structures (e.g. transition states),so as to predict reactivity?
How can we predict activation energy?
Might exothermic reactions be faster than endothermic ones?

How can we predict activation energy?
This is no easy task a priori, especially when interaction with
solvent is important.But often one can say something
sensible about relative values of Ea (or G‡).
Compared to What?

The Hammond Postulate (1955)
George S. Hammond (1921-2005)
“If two states, as for example, a transition state and an unstable interme-diate, occur consecutively during a reaction process and have nearly the same energy content, their interconversion will involve only a small reorganization of the molecular structures.”
This stimulated organic chemists to think about transition states and try to generalize plausibly
about reaction coordinates.

The more exothermic a reaction - the more similar the transition state to starting material
(in both energy and structure)

At least among one-step reactions
that are closely analogous, such as
X• + H-R.

The more exothermic a reaction - the more similar the transition state to starting material
(in both energy and structure)
There is “likely” a continuum
between starting material and product with respect to the factors that
influence stability.
endoproduct
An effect mostly influencing the
energy of the product of an endothermic
reaction should have a similar (slightly
smaller) influence on its (late) transition
state.
Rates of slower reactions should be more sensitive to overall G!
An effect mostly influencing the
energy of the product of an exothermic
reaction should have a small influence on its (early) transition
state.

be different from those involved in stabilizing either starting materials or products.
