In chemistry, stereoselectivity〔(a)"Overlap Control of Carbanionoid Reactions. I. Stereoselectivity in Alkaline Epoxidation," Zimmerman, H. E.; Singer, L.; Thyagarajan, B. S. J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1959, 81, 108-116. (b)Eliel, E., "Stereochemistry of Carbon Compound", McGraw-Hill, 1962 pp 434-436.〕 is the property of a chemical reaction in which a single reactant forms an unequal mixture of stereoisomers during the non-stereospecific creation of a new stereocenter or during the non-stereospecific transformation of a pre-existing one.〔For instance, the SN1 reaction destroys a pre-existing stereocenter then creates a new one.〕 The selectivity arises from differences in steric effects and electronic effects in the mechanistic pathways leading to the different products. Stereoselectivity can vary in degree but it can never be total since the activation energy difference between the two pathways is finite. However, in favorable cases, the minor stereoisomer may not be detectable by the analytic methods used. An enantioselective reaction is one in which one enantiomer is formed in preference to the other, in a reaction that creates an optically active product from an achiral starting material, using either a chiral catalyst, an enzyme or a chiral reagent. The degree of selectivity is measured by the enantiomeric excess. An important variant is kinetic resolution, in which a pre-existing chiral center undergoes reaction with a chiral catalyst, an enzyme or a chiral reagent such that one enantiomer reacts faster than the other and leaves behind the less reactive enantiomer, or in which a pre-existing chiral center influences the reactivity of a reaction center elsewhere in the same molecule. A diastereoselective reaction is one in which one diastereomer is formed in preference to another (or in which a subset of all possible diastereomers dominates the product mixture), establishing a preferred relative stereochemistry. In this case, either two or more chiral centers are formed at once such that one relative stereochemistry is favored,〔Or fewer than all possible relative stereochemistries are obtained.〕 or a pre-existing chiral center (which needs not be optically pure) biases the stereochemical outcome during the creation of another. The degree of relative selectivity is measured by the diastereomeric excess. Stereoconvergence can be considered an opposite of stereoselectivity, when the reaction of two different stereoisomers yield a single product stereoisomer. The quality of stereoselectivity is concerned solely with the products, and their stereochemistry. Of a number of possible stereoisomeric products, the reaction selects one or two to be formed. ==Examples== An example of modest stereoselectivity is the dehydrohalogenation of 2-iodo-butane which yields 60% ''trans''-2-butene and 20% ''cis''-2-butene.〔''Effects of base strength and size upon in base-promoted elimination reactions.'' Richard A. Bartsch, Gerald M. Pruss, Bruce A. Bushaw, Karl E. Wiegers J. Am. Chem. Soc.; 1973; 95(10); 3405-3407. 〕 Since alkene geometric isomers are also classified as diastereomers, this reaction would also be called diastereoselective. : The addition of formic acid to norbornene is also stereospecific because the exo isomer is formed exclusively without any of the endo isomer:〔Organic Syntheses Coll. Vol. 5, p.852 (1973); Vol. 42, p.79 (1962). (Link )〕 : Cram's rule predicts the major diastereomer resulting from the diastereoselective nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl group next to a chiral center. The chiral center need not be optically pure, as the relative stereochemistry will be the same for both enantiomers. In the example below the (S)-aldehyde reacts with a thiazole to form the (S,S) diastereomer but only a small amount of the (S,R) diastereomer:〔Organic Syntheses, Coll. Vol. 10, p.140 (2004); Vol. 77, p.78 (2000). (Link )〕 : The Sharpless epoxidation is an example of an enantioselective process, in which an achiral allylic alcohol substrate is transformed into an optically active epoxyalcohol. In the case of chiral allylic alcohols, kinetic resolution results. Another example is Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation. In the example below the achiral alkene yields only one of possible 4 stereoisomers.〔Organic Syntheses, Coll.
