Chemistry - STEREO ISOMERISM Question with Solution | TestHub
Which of the following is/are NOT correctly matched :
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Option (A): Converting both structures to their standard configurations shows they have different configurations at one chiral center, making them diastereomers (Correctly matched).
Option (B): The first Newman projection represents the enantiomer of tartaric acid (both groups are on the right side in the Fischer projection). The second Newman projection represents the enantiomer (both groups are on the left side). Since they are non-superimposable mirror images, they are enantiomers, not identical. Thus, (B) is incorrectly matched.
Option (C): The positions of the and groups are switched between carbon-2 and carbon-3, making them positional isomers (Correctly matched).
Option (D): One is a threo form and the other is an erythro form, making them diastereomers (Correctly matched).
