Diastereoisomer Excess/Diastereoisomeric Excess definition
 A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M  N  O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z

 


This is defined by analogy with enantiomer excess, as D1 - D2 [and the percent diastereoisomer excess as 100(D1 - D2)], where the mole fractions of two diastereoisomers in a mixture or the fractional yields of two diastereoisomers formed in a reaction are D1 and D2 (D1 + D2 = 1). The term is not applicable if more than two diastereoisomers are present. Frequently this term is abbreviated to d.e. See stereoselectivity; diastereoisomerism.
