Q. What is the possible number of stereoisomers for 2, 3-dichlorobutane?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

The maximum number of stereoisomers are $2^{n}$ where n = number of chiral centres. In this example, there are two chiral centres, but this compound also exist in 'meso form'. Hence, the number of stereoisomers of this compound $=2^{2}-1=3$ .
