Numerical answer type, tolerance 0.5.
Answer: 3
The compound is 2,4-dibromopentane, with two stereocentres and a mirror-symmetric constitution: (R,R), (S,S) and meso (R,S). Each is converted by double inversion into a dinitrile of the matching type: (R,R) to (S,S), (S,S) to (R,R), and meso to meso. All three stereoisomers of 2,4-dimethylpentanedinitrile are therefore obtained (RDKit count: 3). Answer: 3.
