stereogenic element is a
stereogenic center, or
stereocenter. In the case of
organic compounds,
stereocenters most
frequently take the form of a
carbon atom...

exactly two of

stereocenters, the
stereocenters are adjacent, and the two
substituents on each
stereocenter can
clearly be
labeled as "larger"...

Taxifolin has two
