Stereochemistry in Organic Chemistry

Nowadays, stereochemistry is an unignorable issue in organic chemistry.  Stereocontrol of reactions is important and inevitable in the organic synthesis of biologically active compounds.  In this course, I will teach the perspective of the organic stereochemistry, including the assignment of absolute and relative configurations.  Furthermore, some concepts of stereocontrol will be given.

Handout

Handout 1 (structure of organic molecules, enantiomer)
Handout 2 (diastereomer, conformation)
Handout 3 (general statement of stereoselective reaction, nucleophilic addition to carbonyl, enolate, aldol reaction)
Handout 4 (electrophilic addition to alkenes, pericyclic reaction)
Handout 5 (catalytic asymmetric reaction)
