From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Intramolecular in chemistry describes a process or characteristic limited within the structure of a single molecule; a property or phenomenon limited to the extent of a single molecule.

[edit] Examples

• intramolecular hydride transfer (transfer of a hydride ion from one part to another within the same molecule)
• intramolecular hydrogen bond (a hydrogen bond formed between two functional groups of the same molecule)

In intramolecular organic reactions, two reaction sites are contained within a single molecule. This creates a very high effective concentration and therefore many intramolecular reaction take place that would not occur as a intermolecular reaction between to compounds.

Examples of intramolecular reactions are the Smiles rearrangement, the Dieckmann condensation and the Madelung synthesis.
