Asymmetric transformation

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000865",
  "term": "Asymmetric transformation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A process in which a racemic mixture is converted into a single enantiomer or diastereomer, often through a dynamic equilibrium between the enantiomers or diastereomers under chiral conditions. This can involve crystallization, epimerization, or other reactions that favor the formation of one stereoisomer. The process can achieve a theoretical yield of 100% of a single stereoisomer.",
