03Stereochemistry
The published structure contains 2 defined and 0 unassigned tetrahedral stereocentres. The exact wedge-and-dash depiction is shown above.
Published same-connectivity configurations
2 recordsThese records have the same connectivity, molecular formula and protonation layer, but a different complete InChIKey stereochemical layer. Only separately structure-linked records are shown.


Scope: The mathematical 2^n value is only an upper bound. Symmetry and other stereogenic elements can change the number of distinct stereoisomers. A hypothetical configuration is not published as a compound record without a verified structure identity.
