Features: This book starts with the molecular structure of methane, allowing readers to first understand the concept of organic stereoscopic structure. It then introduces the concept of chirality by analyzing the stereoscopic structure of single-handed organic compounds. Subsequently, it covers organic compounds containing two or more chiral centers, axial chirality compounds, and helical chirality compounds, providing a detailed analysis and discussion of the stereoscopic chemical characteristics of various common organic reactions. It also includes the determination, separation, and identification of stereoisomer mixtures. Finally, it provides an in-depth introduction to the application of stereoscopic control in asymmetric synthesis, using the chemical total synthesis of prostaglandin F2α as an example to help readers understand the application of chiral auxiliaries and chiral catalysts in modern organic synthesis. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in organic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, chemical biology, and natural product chemistry, and can also be used as a reference for relevant researchers.
