Preferred Label : steric-approach control;
IUPAC definition : Control of stereoselectivity of a reaction by steric hindrance towards attack of the
reagent, which is directed to the less hindered face of the molecule. Partial bond
making is strong enough at the transition state for steric control to take place.
This suggests that the transition state should not be close to products.;
