Intramolecular reactions are chemical reactions where the reactants are within the same molecule, often leading to the formation of cyclic structures or rearrangements. These reactions are typically faster and more selective than intermolecular reactions due to the proximity of reactive sites within the molecule.

Intramolecular reactions

Chemical reactions involve the transformation of substances through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, resulting in the conversion of reactants into products. These reactions are governed by the principles of thermodynamics and kinetics, which dictate the feasibility and rate of these transformations.
