Question

Total number of stereo isomers possible for the given structure is: image

Options
  1. a

    8

  2. b

    2

  3. c

    4

  4. d

    3

Correct Answera

8

Detailed Solution

Step 1: Identify Stereocenters image Step 2: Calculate Total Isomers Since the molecule is unsymmetrical, the total number of stereoisomers is 2n2^n, where nn is the number of stereocenters (n=3n = 3). Total Isomers=23=8\text{Total Isomers} = 2^3 = 8

Answer: (a) 8\boxed{\text{Answer: (a) 8}}
