Certain chemical groups can undergo self-substitution reactions
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 80/100
Chemical groups can indeed participate in self-substitution or intramolecular substitution reactions, as supported by well-documented mechanisms like neighboring group participation and substrate-assisted pathways.
