Sorry for hogging up the board, but I appreciate any help I can get from you guys....

If a molecule has like 3 chirality centers, then there's a possible 8 stereoisomers of this molecule.

If we know that out of the 8, there is a pair of enantiomers and that there are no meso compounds.......can we then say that the remaining 6 are all diastereomers??

What do you guys think?
