Question

What is the maximum numbers of sterioisomers that could exist for the compound below?

• A. 6
• B. 8
• C. 10
• D. 16

Answer 1

The correct option is D 16

(Refer to Image)

Number of stereoisomers= $2^n$

$n$= number of chiral centre

as there are $4$ chiral centre in the above compound thus, number of stereoisomers= $2^4=16$ .
