The compound shown is one stereoisomer of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexan-1-ol drawn with wedges (C1 bears , C2 bears isopropyl, C5 bears methyl). How many of its three stereocentres have the configuration? Give an integer.

Numerical answer type.

Answer: 2

C1: (attached to C,C,H) (C,H,H) ; the drawn arrangement gives . C2: (O,C,H) isopropyl (C,C,H) (C,H,H) ; the drawing gives . C5: (leads to C1 bearing O) ; the drawing gives . The compound shown is , which is natural (-)-menthol, so 2 centres are .
