How many optically active stereomers are possible for butane-2,3-diolA. 3B. 4C. 1D. 2 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A `{:(" "CH_(3)),(" |"),(H-C_(**)-OH),(" |"),(H-C^(**)-OH),(" |"),(" "CH_(3)),("butane-2,3-diol"):}` No. of asymmetric of chiral carbon =2 , Therefore no. of optical isomers `= 2^(n) = 2^(2) = 4`, No. of optically active stereomers = 4-1=3, because meso compound is optically inactive due to internal compensation. |
