Proprochirality is a term used in organic chemistry to describe the property of a molecule having two identical prochiral atoms that differ only in their three-dimensional orientation. Synonyms for this term include "pseudoasymmetry," "half diastereomerism," and "topo-isomerism." Pseudoasymmetry refers to molecules that appear to be asymmetric but actually have no chiral centers. Half diastereomerism describes two stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other but have one or more chiral centers in common. Topo-isomerism refers to stereoisomers that differ in the relative position of functional groups or substituents but do not have chiral centers. These synonyms demonstrate the complexities of stereoisomerism in organic chemistry and the multiple ways in which molecules can exhibit asymmetry.
