There is only 1 chiral center in 2,6-dimethyloctane. At first glance it may appear that there are two, but in the case of the second carbon in the compound, it is bound to methyl groups, making it achiral.

How many aldoheptoses are possible?

Aldoheptoses are seven-carbon sugars (heptoses) that contain an aldehyde group. There are 16 possible aldoheptoses, derived from the fact that there are four chiral centers in a heptose (the first carbon is not chiral). The number of stereoisomers for a sugar with ( n ) chiral centers is given by ( 2^{n} ), so for 4 chiral centers, there are ( 2^4 = 16 ) possible aldoheptoses.
