Preferred Label : diastereoisomerism;
IUPAC definition : stereoisomerism other than enantiomerism. Diastereoisomers (or diastereomers) are
stereoisomers not related as mirror images. Diastereoisomers are characterized by
differences in physical properties, and by some differences in chemical behaviour
towards achiral as well as chiral reagents.;
