Which of the given statement(s) about N, O, P and Q with respect to...
Which of the given statement(s) about and with respect to is (are) correct?

Options
- A and are non-mirror image stereoisomers
- B and are identical
- C and are enantiomers
- D and are identical
Correct answer
A. and are non-mirror image stereoisomers
Step-by-step solution
The given conformation are of the following compound

Note : Fisher conformation always show the eclipsed form of molecule. Thus, we have to convert the given staggered conformation of 'O' to an eclipsed conformation.
Based on the above structures, we can say that (a) and are diastereomers or non-mirror image stereoisomers. (b) and are identical. (c) and are enantiomers. (d) and are diastereomers and therefore not identical.
