Which of the given statement(s) about N , O , P and Q with respect to M is (are) correct?
Options
- AM and N are non-mirror image stereoisomers
- BM and O are identical
- CM and P are enantiomers
- DM and Q are identical
Correct answer
A. M and N 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) M and N are diastereomers or non-mirror image stereoisomers. (b) M and O are identical. (c) M and P are enantiomers. (d) M and Q are diastereomers and therefore not identical.
