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. [1] [2] Concerted reaction rates tend not to depend on solvent polarity ruling out large buildup of charge in the transition state.
A thesaurus (pl.: thesauri or thesauruses), sometimes called a synonym dictionary or dictionary of synonyms, is a reference work which arranges words by their meanings (or in simpler terms, a book where one can find different words with similar meanings to other words), [1] [2] sometimes as a hierarchy of broader and narrower terms, sometimes simply as lists of synonyms and antonyms.

Concerted evolution, whereby individual members of a DNA family within one species are more closely related to each other than to members of the same type of DNA family in other species; [1] Horizontal gene transfer, where genes are transferred from one organism to another by means other than genes received from an ancestor [2]
Many but not all cycloadditions are concerted and thus pericyclic. [1] Nonconcerted cycloadditions are not pericyclic. [2] As a class of addition reaction, cycloadditions permit carbon–carbon bond formation without the use of a nucleophile or electrophile. Cycloadditions can be described using two systems of notation.
