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
