What is "Substitution reaction"?
A substitution reaction is a chemical reaction in which one atom or functional group in a molecule is replaced by another atom or group. In organic chemistry, these reactions are classified by the nature of the substituting reagent as electrophilic or nucleophilic, and by mechanism (such as SN1 or SN2). The process involves breaking the bond to the leaving group and forming a new bond to the incoming substituent.

Merck KGaA owns Sigma-Aldrich, the major supplier of reagents and catalysts central to substitution reactions, making Merck KGaA the #1 direct play (OTC: MKGAF). For broader exposure to the lab-chemicals ecosystem that enables substitution chemistry, BASF SE offers indirect exposure (OTC: BASFY). Entrepreneurially, you could launch a niche lab-supply or education platform delivering SN1/SN2-compatible reagents and starter kits to universities and biotech startups.
