How many pairs are Enantiomers ?
Answer:
6.00
Solution:
Enantiomers are pairs of stereoisomers that form non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Pairs (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and (vii) are enantiomers because reflecting them or inverting all chiral centers yields their exact non-superimposable mirror image. Pair (i) consists of diastereomers because only one chiral center's configuration changes when aligning the main carbon chain. Pair (viii) consists of identical homomers because the molecule contains an internal plane of symmetry (meso compound).
