Two possible stereo-structures of C H 3 C H O H C O O H , which are optically active, are called:
Options
- ADiastereomers
- BAtropisomers
- CEnantiomers
- DMesomers
Correct answer
C. Enantiomers
Step-by-step solution
Two possible stereo-structures of CH 3 CHOHCOOH , which are optically active, are called enantiomers. They are non-superimposable mirror images of each other and are shown in the image. Both are enantiomers.
