The three isomers of 1,2-difluoro-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane are shown. To distinguish the three isomers we can assign the stereocenters as either R or S. Moving from left to right, the first compound has the stereocenters (1R, 2S). The compound in the middle has stereocenters (1R, 2R). The third compound on the right has stereocenters (1S, 2S). It is possible to draw what appears to be another stereoisomers with stereocenters (1S, 2R), however, this compound is a meso-compound and is identical to (1R, 2S). So there are only three unique stereoisomers of 1,2-difluoro-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane.
