In organic chemistry , a pericyclic reaction is a type of organic reaction wherein the transition state of the molecule has a cyclic geometry , and the reaction progresses in a concerted fashion .
In the case of pericyclic reactions , the transition state of the molecule is a ring ( has a cyclic geometry ) , and the reaction goes forward in a concerted way .
