Answer to Question 1

No. Meso compounds that contain chirality centers, but possess a plane of symmetry. Because the
substituents on the chiral carbons are different in streptimidone it is impossible for any stereoisomer to have
a plane of symmetry.



Answer to Question 2

Streptimidone has two chirality centers so there are 22, or 4, possible stereoisomers.
