Question

What is the relationship between the following pair of compounds? Are they enantiomers, diastereomers, the same, constitution isomers, or mesocompounds ? And Select one: O a. Mesocompounds O b. Enantiomers c. The same d. Diastereomers

Answer 1

Select one: vb. Enantiomers These to compounds are enantiomers because they differee in the configuration at their only chiral center and are otherwise completely same. In other words, these two are nou - super imposable mirror images of each other. Hence, They are enantiomers. • a) Meso compound :- These two are no meso compand as mesocompound is a comp is not optically activer despite containing chiral centres. But the above two compounds are optically active . ode) siastercomers :- Die These two compounds are not distoreomers diastereomers are compounds which are non superimposable non-mirror images of each other. But about two compounds are mire or image of each other c) The same. These two compounds are not same they differ in configuration at care of the carbon.
