Everything about Concerted Reaction totally explained
In
chemistry, a
concerted reaction is a
chemical reaction in which all bond breaking and bond making occurs in a single step.
Reactive intermediates or other unstable high energy intermediates are not involved. Concerted
reaction rates tend not to depend on
solvent polarity ruling out large buildup of
charge in the
transition state.
Pericyclic reactions are concerted reactions.
In the
SN2 reaction a concerted reaction also takes place. Because the
reaction rate is bimolecular there are two molecular species controlling the rate of the reaction. Because the rate is dependent on two molecules the reaction doesn't have any intermediate steps, only a
transition state. This means that all the bond making and bond breaking takes place in a single step. In order for the reaction to occur both molecules must be situated correctly. Therefore, the reaction is said to be concerted because it occurs in one step.
