In which reactions products formed are optically active diastereomeric pair :
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
A, C
Solution:
(A) Addition of HCl to substituted cyclohexene creates two new chiral centers.
This leads to formation of diastereomers (not mirror images).
Diastereomers are optically active → correct.
(B) Br₂ addition gives anti-addition but forms racemic mixture → optically inactive
(C) Reaction of (±)-2-butanol with chiral acid forms diastereomers.
Diastereomers show optical activity → correct.
(D) Dehydration forms alkene (no chirality) → optically inactive
