Kinetically controlled product.

Explanation:

The name given to the type of "control" which arises in a reaction which does not achieve equilibrium and in which the product distribution is determined by the relative activation energies of the pathways which produced them is called Kinetically controlled product. The product having lower activation forms faster than the product with higher activation energy.
