The number of optical isomers in following compound is : _____. 
Correct Answer: 32
Approach Solution - 1
Formula ⇒ 2n
n → number of stereo-centers.
Here n = 5
So, Total optical isomers = 25 = 32
Approach Solution -2
The compound has 5 chiral centers. The total number of optical isomers is:
\[\text{Number of isomers} = 2^n = 2^5 = 32.\]
Final Answer:
\[32.\]
