Which statement regarding the following structures are true?
- $A$ and $B$ are diastereomers, $C$ and $D$ are enantiomers
- $A$ and $B$ are enantiomers, $C$ and $D$ are enantiomers
- $A$ and $B$ are enantiomers, $C$ and $D$ are diastereomers
- $A$ and $B$ are diastereomers, $C$ and $D$ are diastereomers
Solution
Because of absence of stereocentre in $C$ and $D$ these are diastereomers.
$A$ and $B$ are mirror image of each other, hence are enantiomers.
