The correct statement regarding the following compounds is

  1. A all three compounds are chiral
  2. B only I and II are chiral
  3. C I and III are diastereomers
  4. D only I and III are chiral
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) only I and III are chiral

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2-R, 3-R\) configuration, s0 it is a chiral compound \(2-R, 3-S\) configuration has plane of symmetry or in other words, rotation of hall part is cancelled by the other half, so it is not a chiral compound. \(2-S, 3-S\) configuration, so it is also a chiral compound.
