Moiety conservation

Moiety conservation is a concept primarily found in the field of chemistry, particularly in the study of chemical systems and reactions. It refers to the principle that certain properties or quantities associated with specific parts or components (moieties) of a molecule remain constant during a chemical reaction or process. In a broader context, moiety conservation may relate to the idea that certain molecular features, such as functional groups or parts of a molecule, are preserved or transformed in a way that can be tracked throughout a chemical transformation.
