Question

If a compound has 4 Chiral centres, how many stereoisomers are possible?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If a compound has 4 Chiral centers, 16 stereoisomers are possible.

Explanation:

The maximum number of stereoisomers for a compound with n chiral centers is given by 2ⁿ.

Here, the compound has 4 chiral centers.

then,  the number of stereoisomers = 2⁴ = 16
