Asymmetric induction

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000859",
  "term": "Asymmetric induction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The preferential formation of one enantiomer or diastereomer over another during a chemical reaction, influenced by a chiral center already present in the reactant or reagent. This phenomenon leads to the generation of new chiral centers with a specific stereochemical outcome. It is a key concept in asymmetric synthesis for controlling the stereochemistry of products.",
