Ques. 1AIPMT 2015

The possible stereo-structures of CH3CHOHCOOH, which are optically active, are called

  1. atropisomers
  2. enantiomers
  3. mesomers
  4. diastereomers

Answer

(2) enantiomers

Solution

CH3- *CH(OH)-COOH (lactic acid) has one chiral carbon (four different groups: H, CH3, OH, COOH).

⇒ It exists as two optically active forms, (+) and (–), which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

As per NCERT, stereoisomers related as non-superimposable mirror images are called enantiomers.

Answer: (2)
