In a lecture, teacher said
"Nucleophilicity is about 'kinetic', and basicity is about 'thermodynamic'"
but I saw the picture below from another source.
Here, both pathways start with an acid/base reaction (it's about basicity) and then nucleophilic addition happens (it's about nucleophilicity). as a result, 'kinetic' and 'thermodynamic' product come up.
So here's my question.
Are the terms 'thermodynamic' and 'kinetic' that are used above in two cases different?
