there are two optical centers C2 & C5
if the geometry about double bond is cis then there are two pair of enantiomers & 1 meso isomer
if geometry about double bond is trans then again there will be two enantiomers pairs & 1 meso isomers
net pairs of enantiomers are 4 ...(2 in cis ,2 in trans)
number of sterio isomers = 8
