Find out the total number of stereoisomers of the given following compound.
Cl-CH=CH-CCl2-CH=CH-Cl
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
The central CCl2 carbon is never a stereocentre (two identical Cl atoms), so only the two double bonds matter. (E,E) and (Z,Z) give one isomer each; because the two arms of the molecule are identical, (E,Z) and (Z,E) are the same compound : 1 + 1 + 1 = 3.
Ans. (B) 3.
