Intramolecular reactions

Intramolecular reactions are chemical reactions that occur within a single molecule, where parts of the same molecule interact and bond with each other. Think of it like a puzzle piece that has certain edges that can connect internally to form a new structure, often leading to a ring or a different shape. These reactions are important in biological processes and chemistry because they can efficiently transform molecules into more stable or functional forms without needing external reactants. Overall, intramolecular reactions involve rearrangements or new bonds forming inside one molecule to create new structures or properties.
