Multi-centre reaction

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007620",
  "term": "Multi-centre reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical reaction in which bond breaking and bond formation occur simultaneously at several different atomic centers within a cyclic transition state. These reactions are often concerted, meaning all changes happen in a single step. Pericyclic reactions, such as cycloadditions and sigmatropic rearrangements, are prominent examples.",
