Question
Which of the following compounds will have a meso isomer also?(a) 2 -Bromo $-3$ -chlorobutane(b) $2,3-$ Dichloropentane(c) 2 -Hydroxy butanoic acid(d) 2, 3 -Dibromobutane
Step 1
A meso compound is a molecule with multiple stereocenters that is superimposable on its mirror image. Furthermore, meso compounds are achiral and optically inactive, which means they have a plane of symmetry. Show more…
