JEE Chemistry 2024 Question with Solution

Given: The question asks for the total number of stereoisomers possible for the given structure.

Find: The total number of stereoisomers.

The solution states that the correct option is A and concludes that the correct number of stereoisomers is $8$.

From the extracted working, the count is obtained using the stereoisomer formula:

where $n$ is the number of chiral centers.

One approach in the solution describes using:

with an additional factor of $2$ attributed to geometrical isomerism.

Another extracted approach states that the molecule has three chiral centers, so:

Although the intermediate descriptions in the solution are inconsistent about the number of chiral centers, both approaches conclude the same final result. Therefore, the correct option is A.
