The total number of stereoisomers that can exist for M is

Answer: 2

Solution

The molecule M contains two chiral centers. However, due to the presence of a plane of symmetry in certain conformations, the molecule cannot show geometrical isomerism. Therefore, only the d and l (enantiomeric pair) stereoisomers exist, giving a total of 2 stereoisomers.
