Chemistry Question on Tetravalence Of Carbon: Shapes Of Organic Compounds
Total number of stereo isomers possible for the given structure:
A
8
B
2
C
4
D
3
Answer
8
Explanation
Solution
The molecule has three chiral centers, each of which can exist in R or S configurations. The total number of stereoisomers is 2n, where n is the number of chiral centers.
Here, n = 3, so:
Total stereoisomers = 23 = 8.
