Correct Answer: 3
Solution and Explanation
The given compound is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing two double bonds. Upon exhaustive hydrogenation, both double bonds will be reduced, converting the compound into a saturated hydrocarbon.
The structure of the saturated hydrocarbon will have two stereogenic centers, which will give rise to 3 possible stereoisomers. These include:
- One meso form (achiral due to symmetry).
- Two enantiomers (which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other).
Thus, the number of stereoisomers possible for this product is 3
