Which of the following is true for the stereochemical relationship of the given structures (A-D)?
Which of the following is true for the stereochemical relationship of the given structures (A-D)?
Show Hint
- (A) and (C) are homomers
- (B) and (C) are enantiomers
- (B) and (D) are homomers
- (A) and (D) are diastereomers
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: \[\boxed{\text{(4) (A) and (D) are diastereomers}}\]
