| proprochiralitynoun | (chemistry) A form of prochirality in which an achiral compound is converted to a chiral one in two steps. |
| prochiralitynoun | (chemistry) The property exhibited by a prochiral molecule or other entity; protostereoisomerism. |

| homochiralizationnoun | The act or process of producing homochirality |
| enantiomericitynoun | (chemistry) The condition of being enantiomeric |
| stereoisomerismnoun | (chemistry) A form of isomerism in which atoms are arranged differently about a chiral centre (or centre of asymmetry).

| diastereospecificitynoun | (organic chemistry) The formation of one diastereoisomer rather than another |
| diastereoisomernoun | (physical chemistry) A stereoisomer having multiple chiral centres; a diastereoisomer cannot normally be superimposed on the mirror image of another. |
| mesocompoundnoun | (chemistry) Any achiral compound that has two or more chiral centres |
| dechiralisationnoun | The removal of chirality |
| diastereoisomerismnoun | (physical chemistry) Any form of stereoisomerism other than enantiomerism |
| enantiomerismnoun | (chemistry) The isomerism of enantiomers. |
| chiral centrenoun | (chemistry) A stereocentre |
