  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008928",
  "term": "Photostimulated unimolecular radical nucleophilic substitution",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A multi-step reaction mechanism involving the substitution of a leaving group on an aromatic or vinylic substrate by a nucleophile. The process is initiated by the photoinduced transfer of an electron to the substrate, forming a radical anion which then expels the leaving group to yield an aryl or vinyl radical. This radical subsequently reacts with the nucleophile to produce the final product.",
