Electrophilic nitration of a substituted benzene may lead to ortho, meta or para products, depending on the substituent. According to the Hammond Postulate, the kinetic product will be that which follows from the most stable intermediate benzenium ion, i.e. 

Markovnikov s rule can be restated by saying that, in the addition of HX to an aikene, the more stable carbocation intermediate is formed. This result is explained by the Hammond postulate, which says that the transition state of an exergonic reaction step structurally resembles the reactant, whereas the transition state of an endergonic reaction step structurally resembles the product. Since an aikene protonation step is endergonic, the stability of the more highly substituted carbocation is reflected in the stability of the transition state leading to its formation. 

The energetic consequences of the CM and PES models are also the same. Stabilization of both parallel and perpendicular structures leads to stabilization of the transition state, in line with predictions of the CM model. We see then that perturbations on reactant and product configurations are equivalent to the PES parallel (Hammond) effects, while perturbations on intermediate configurations are equivalent to the PES perpendicular (anti-Hammond) effects. Thus the CM and PES approaches are, at least for this kind of application, analogous. 

The Hammond postulate states that in endergic reactions, features which stabilize and thus lower the energy of a product lower the energy of the transition state leading to diat product. This is shown in Figure 5.12. If product 2 (P2) is lower in energy than product 1 (Pi), then transition state 2 ( 2) will be lower than transition state 1 ( 1). It will also be earlier. As a consequence, P2 will have a lower activation barrier and be formed faster than Pi. A simplified restatement of the Hammond postulate is that more stable products are formed faster. It must be remembered that this analysis is for endothermic reactions and assumes that the reactants have the same or similar energies. 

One of the focal points of mechanistic interest has been into the nature of the transition state. A postulate which bears heavily on this topic and which is now most commonly referred to as the Hammond postulate (Hammond, 1955) has become central in the study of transition state structure. Hammond s postulate may be stated as follows the interconversion of two states of similar energy on a reaction pathway will involve only a small amount of structural reorganization. A precise interpretation of this postulate leads only to the limited conclusion that transition states of highly exothermic reactions are similar in structure and energy to reactants, while for strongly endothermic reactions transition states resemble products.
