What is another word for chiral synthesis?
Pronunciation: [kˈa͡ɪɹə͡l sˈɪnθəsˌɪs] (IPA) 
Chiral synthesis refers to the process of creating enantiomerically pure compounds or molecules, which are mirror images of one another but cannot be superimposed. Synonyms for this term include asymmetric synthesis, stereoselective synthesis, and enantioselective synthesis. Asymmetric synthesis is a type of chiral synthesis that produces only one enantiomer, while stereoselective synthesis produces a mixture of the two enantiomers in differing ratios. Enantioselective synthesis is a more specific term that refers to the production of one enantiomer with a preference for its formation over the other. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the same process of creating chiral compounds for use in industries such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
