Question

Consider the following set of structures ???? OH OH OH OH OH OH Indicate the relationship of each pair by circling the appropriate word A and B A and C A and D B and C B and D C and D enantiomers enantiomers enantiomers enantiomers enantiomers enantiomers identical identical identical identical identical identical diastereomers diastereomers diastereomers diastereomers diastereomers diastereomers Which of these structures is/are chiral? Circle any and all that are chiral None Which of these structures is/are achiral? Circle any and all that are achiral None Which of these structures is a meso compound? Circle any and all structures that are meso compounds: None Identify ONE pair of structures that together could form a racemic mixture. If no two compounds in the set could form a racemic mixture, write "None". Write your answer on this line

Explanation / Answer

A and D are chiral (as they are non superimpossible mirror images)

None achiral molecules ( there is no compund with center of symmetry,plane of symmetry or componds with superimposibble mirror images)

None meso compounds ( as meso compounds are the compounds which are achiral and having stereo centers)

A and D fan form racemic mixtures ( racemic mixtures are the equimolar mixture of enantiomers)
