Consider a molecule with 3 chiral centers all marked R. Is this molecule the same as the S version?




No I don't think both will be the same.They will be enantiomers or non superimposable mirror images of each other.I am sharing a simple trick to find the isomers of a compound with 3 chiral centres instead-


RRR and its enantiomer SSS


SRR and its enantiomer RSS


SSR and its enantiomer RRS


SRS and its enantiomer RSR


With makes a total of 8! You can generalize the formula by 2 raised to the power n (where n is number of chiral centres)
