property of an achiral unit that becomes chiral when one of two like ligands is replaced or one face of a trigonal atom is attacked.

In organic chemistry, prochirality refers to property of an achiral unit that becomes chiral when one of two like ligands is replaced or one face of a trigonal atom is attacked. This meaning comes from Hanson (1966) in Journal of the American Chemical Society.[1]
