{wiki=Neighbouring_group_participation}
Neighbouring group participation (NGP) is a concept often discussed in the context of chemical reactions, particularly in organic chemistry and the study of reaction mechanisms. It refers to the involvement of a neighboring group, which is typically a functional group located on the same molecule, in stabilizing a transition state or lowering the energy barrier of a reaction via intramolecular interactions.
