Question:medium

Which of the following is true for the stereochemical relationship of the given structures (A-D)? 

Show Hint

Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other and are not related by reflection symmetry.

  • (A) and (C) are homomers
  • (B) and (C) are enantiomers
  • (B) and (D) are homomers
  • (A) and (D) are diastereomers
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Stereochemistry Analysis.
Structures (A) and (D) are stereoisomers that are not mirror images, differing in the spatial arrangement around a chiral center. This classifies them as diastereomers.

Step 2: Conclusion.
Therefore, option (4) is correct because (A) and (D) are diastereomers. The other options incorrectly describe stereochemical relationships.

Final Answer: \[\boxed{\text{(4) (A) and (D) are diastereomers}}\]
