how do we calculate no. of stereoisomers in a compound?
Dear Satyan,
For calculation of stereoisomer you have to see 2 important things in the compound i.e. 1)chiral centre.
if in a compound there is 2 chiral centre only then no of stereoisomer will be 2n i.e. 22=4 but you have to be aware that if in a molecule if there is any pos or cos(i.e. plane of symmetry or centre of symmetry) exist then total no of stereoisomer will be 22-1=3.
2) no of double bond which is responcible for geometrical isomer but be sure that the two valencies of same carbon must be different.
And if in a compound both chiral centre and double bond present then add them and get no of isomer according to the above example.
