There are 5 structural isomers, 3 of which can exist as 1 of 2 enantiomers, resulting in a total of 8 isomers:

: 1-chloro-1-deuterio-propane (2 enantiomers)

: 2-chloro-1-deuterio-propane (2 enantiomers)

: 3-chloro-1-deuterio-propane

: 1-chloro-2-deuterio-propane (2 enantiomers)

: 2-chloro-2-deuterio-propane

Note: there is much disagreement regarding the naming conventions of molecules including non-standard isotopes, such as deuterium here. I would like to hope that the names given above would at least be widely understood, even if not considered to be ‘correct’.

Dear student 
The structure and name of isomers are :
CHDClCH2CH3: 1-chloro-1-deuterio-propane (2 enantiomers)
CH2DCClHCH3: 2-chloro-1-deuterio-propane (2 enantiomers)
CH2DCH2CH2Cl: 3-chloro-1-deuterio-propane
CH2ClCDHCH3: 1-chloro-2-deuterio-propane (2 enantiomers)
CH3CDClCH3: 2-chloro-2-deuterio-propane
Hope this heps
