  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000785",
  "term": "Aromatic photocycloaddition",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A photochemical reaction where two or more molecules, at least one of which is aromatic, combine to form a cyclic adduct. This process involves the absorption of light energy to promote an electron to a higher energy state, initiating the cycloaddition. The reaction often leads to the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds.",
