i think it is 4 .............not sure but as the comp has 3 chiral carbons and the formula says

2n-1 = no of disaster....
where n is no of chiral carbons........

mostle so ..

2n-1
=23-1
22
=4

so mostly its 4 ..plz check and tell whether correct?

How does it have 3 chiral carbons??? I thought only sp3 hybridised carbons can be chiral..

The geometrical isomers Cis-Trans And E-Z are also considered as Diastereomers
@ Pranav....the compound has only one chiral carbon
@ Pritish ..all these isomerism part becomes more clear in 3D..in ur post atleast denote the compounds by wedge-dash notation to make it more clear...
btw....i think the compound has only two diastereomers..due to Cis and Trans
