Sangroniz's finiteness conjecture for finite 2-groups with odd real class number

Let rr be an odd natural number. A finite group element is real if it is conjugate to its inverse, and a conjugacy class is real if all its elements are real. Sangroniz's conjecture. For each odd natural number rr, there are only finitely many finite 22-groups with exactly rr real conjugacy classes. The conjecture seeks to explain why most small 22-groups have an even number of conjugacy classes; finiteness is known for r=1,3,5,7r=1,3,5,7 and, in the pro-22 setting, for odd r23r\leq 23, but the general finite-group statement remains open.
