How many stereoisomers does this molecule have? 

If there is no rotation of plane-polarized light by a compound in a specific solvent
thought to be chiral, it may mean that:

1. The compound is certainly a chiral.

2. The compound is certainly meso.

3. There is no compound in the solvent.

4. The compound may be a racemic mixture.
