Question

The maximum number of optically active
stereoisomers that could exist for the
compound below
Br Be
13​

Answer 1

The maximum number of stereoisomers that a molecule can have is 2n , where n is the number of chiral centres. A molecule with three chiral centres will have 23=8 stereoisomers.

Answer 2

Answer:

The maximum no. of optically active stereoisomers that could exist fo the compound below Br is 8

Explanation:

It is symmetrical

Chiral C = 4

For even no.of optical isomer = 2*n-1

                                                  = 2*4-1

                                                  = 2*3

                                                  =8
