| Identify the correct statement about the following pairs of compounds. |
 |
A) A and B diastereomers; C and D diastereomers
B) A and B enantiomers ; C and D diastereomers
C) A and B diastereomers ; C and D enantiomers
D) A and B enantiomers ; C and D enantiomers
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
| Diastereomers are the optically active isomers in which the mirror images are non-superimpossable on each other whereas enantiomers are those optical isomers in which the mirror images are superimposable on each other. |
 |
| Because A and B are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. |
| Hence, these are diastereomers. |
 |
| Both C and D are the superimposable mirror images of each other hence, are enantiomers. |
