  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003138",
  "term": "Diastereomeric ratio",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The ratio of the amounts of two diastereoisomers in a mixture, expressed as a quotient of the larger quantity to the smaller one. For a mixture of diastereoisomers A and B, where the mole fraction of A is xA and B is xB, the ratio is given as xA:xB or xB:xA, with the larger value first. This ratio is a key measure of stereoselectivity in chemical reactions.",
