Total stereoisomers=##2^n##
where n =no. of double bonds
According to me 4 products will be formed with a double bond in each of them.So total no. of stereoisomers will be=##4×2^1=8##.First product will be formed due self aldol in acetaldehyde.Second will be formed due to self aldol in Propanaldehyde.And the other two will be formed due to mixed aldol.I just want somebody to check my answer.Is it correct?
