Number of geometrical isomers possible for the given structure is/are ___________.
Correct Answer: 4
Solution and Explanation
To determine the number of geometrical isomers for the given structure:
Identifying Stereocenters: The given structure contains three stereocenters, which influence the overall geometric configurations.
Counting Geometrical Isomers: The maximum potential geometric isomers can be calculated using the formula:
Total Geometrical Isomers = 2n
where n is the number of stereocenters. In this case:
23 = 8
However, due to symmetry in the molecule, some configurations are equivalent, reducing the number of unique geometrical isomers.
Final Count: Considering the symmetry and equivalent configurations, the total number of unique geometrical isomers for the given structure is 4.
