Which statement regarding the following structures are true?

  1. A \(A\) and \(B\) are diastereomers, \(C\) and \(D\) are enantiomers
  2. B \(A\) and \(B\) are enantiomers, \(C\) and \(D\) are enantiomers
  3. C \(A\) and \(B\) are enantiomers, \(C\) and \(D\) are diastereomers
  4. D \(A\) and \(B\) are diastereomers, \(C\) and \(D\) are diastereomers
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(A\) and \(B\) are enantiomers, \(C\) and \(D\) are diastereomers

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Because of absence of stereocentre in \(C\) and \(D\) these are diastereomers. \(A\) and \(B\) are mirror image of each other, hence are enantiomers.
