Two diastereomeric sets of enantiomers, A/B and C/D, exist for 3-bromo-2-butanol. CH3 HO--H CH3 HO -H CH3 CH, H OH H OH Br Br H- Br Br H. CH3 ČH3 CH3 CH3 A B C D When enantiomer A or B is treated with HBr, only racemic 2,3-dibromobutane is formed; no meso isomer is formed. When enantiomer C or D is treated with HBr, only meso 2,3-dibromobutane is formed; no racemic 2,3-dibromobutane is formed. Account for these observations.
