Do you guys know why the answer is B which is 3 stereo isomers?
The answer key says it should be 3 because of meso compound even though it has 2 chiral centers. Originally, 2 chiral centers should have 4. However, I believe there are 2 meso compounds including 3 methyl goes up and goes down? Therefore, I believe the answer should be 2 instead of 3?
Could you guys explain this problem please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.
