The term "asymmetric" in organic chemistry typically refers to reactions that produce chiral products, meaning the products have a specific three-dimensional arrangement of atoms that are not superimposable on their mirror images. Asymmetric reactions are often catalyzed by chiral catalysts, which selectively promote the formation of one enantiomer (mirror-image isomer) over the other. This is important in the synthesis of complex molecules with defined stereochemistry.
