Interpretation: All the possible stereoisomers for the given compound are to be drawn. The pairs of enantiomers, diastereomers and meso compounds are to be labeled.
Concept introduction: The two compounds which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are known as enantiomers, whereas two compounds which are neither superimposable nor mirror images to each other are known as diastereomer.
A meso compound is an optically inactive compound which has chiral centers and has a plane of symmetry.
(b)
Interpretation: All the possible steroisomers for the given compound are to be drawn. The pairs of enantiomers, diastereomers and meso compounds are to be labeled.
