The 16 pages that link to Stereocenter, each with the reason it gives.

• ChiralityBroader topic: A stereogenic center often creates molecular chirality, though it is not required.

• EnantiomerRelated: A stereocenter commonly creates distinct enantiomers when its configuration is reversed.

• DiastereomerRelated: Different configurations at corresponding stereogenic centers can distinguish diastereomers.

• StereoisomerismRelated: Such centers provide a common structural source of stereoisomerism.

• Racemic mixtureRelated: A stereocenter often gives a molecule distinct enantiomeric forms.

• SN2 reactionRelated: A stereogenic reacting center makes SN2 inversion observable as a stereochemical change.

• Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rulesRelated: Ranking its attached groups is central to assigning many absolute configurations.

• Fischer projectionNarrower topic: Fischer projections commonly organize the configurations of stereogenic centers along a chain.

• Optical isomerismRelated: A tetrahedral stereogenic center is a common source of optical isomerism.

• StereoselectivityRelated: Creating or transforming stereogenic centers is a common source of reaction selectivity.

• Meso compoundNarrower topic: Meso compounds contain stereocenters, even though the whole molecule is achiral.

• R–S notationNarrower topic: R–S notation is assigned at stereogenic centers, though not every such center is tetrahedral.

• Absolute configurationBroader topic: A common site whose atom arrangement is described by an R or S label.

• Enantioselective synthesisRelated: Creating such centers is a common goal of enantioselective reactions.

• GlyceraldehydeRelated: Glyceraldehyde’s central carbon is its sole stereogenic center.

• RacemizationBroader topic: Racemization commonly occurs when a stereogenic center temporarily loses its fixed three-dimensional arrangement.
