  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003914",
  "term": "Ene reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A pericyclic reaction involving an alkene with an allylic hydrogen (the 'ene') and a compound containing a multiple bond (the 'enophile'). The reaction results in the formation of a new sigma bond, migration of the ene's double bond, and transfer of the allylic hydrogen to the enophile. This is a concerted reaction, often proceeding through a six-membered transition state.",
