JEE Advanced 2015 Paper 1 Offline Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 21 English

Answer
2

Explanation

The total number of stereo isomers = 2n = 22 = 4, where n is the number of chiral centres.

However, in bridge/bicycle compounds, the number of stereo-isomers is equal to the number of chiral centres because no carbon centres rotation is possible. Therefore, two stereoisomers would be possible for the given compound.
