What is the number of stereoisomers possible for the above compound?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Ans. (C) 4.
Sol. The compound, CH3-CHBr-CHCl-CH3 (2-bromo-3-chlorobutane), has two stereocentres, and the two centres carry different sets of substituents (one bears Br, the other Cl), so no internal compensation and no meso form is possible. Number of stereoisomers = 22 = 4.
