Two possible stereo-structures of C H 3 C H O H C O O H , which are optically active, are called:

Two possible stereo-structures of CH3CHOHCOOH, which are optically active, are called:
  1. Diastereomers
  2. Atropisomers
  3. Enantiomers
  4. Mesomers

Solution

Two possible stereo-structures of CH3CHOHCOOH, which are optically active, are called enantiomers.

They are non-superimposable mirror images of each other and are shown in the image.

 

            solution
Both are enantiomers.
