Find the total number of possible stereoisomers for the given compound:

Answer:
8
Solution:
Chiral Carbons: There are two chiral centers in the cyclohexene ring (the carbons attached to the side chains), as they are bonded to four different groups.
Axial Chirality: The allene group (-CH=C=CH-CH3)acts as one stereocenter because it is an even-numbered cumulative diene with different substituents at both ends.
Ring Double Bond: The double bond within the six-membered ring does not contribute to stereoisomerism, as only the cis-configuration is stable.
Calculation: With independent stereocenters and no internal symmetry, the total number of possible stereoisomers is .
