Preferred Label : optical yield;
IUPAC definition : In a chemical reaction involving chiral reactants and products, the ratio of the optical
purity of the product to that of the precursor, reactant or catalyst. This should
not be confused with enantiomeric excess. The optical yield is in no way related to
the chemical yield of the reaction.;
