Which of the following compounds can exist in meso form :
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
C, D
Solution:
A meso form needs stereocentres plus internal symmetry. Tartaric acid C has the R,S meso form. The symmetric cyclohexene diol D can also have internally compensated stereocentres. Different Br/Cl substituents in A prevent the required symmetry, and B does not supply the required meso stereocentre pair. Thus C,D.
