Q67 / 200 · NEET 2003 · Chemistry

Which of the following pairs of compounds are enantiomers?

  • Correct answer
    A

  • B

  • C
    Figure
  • D

Solution

Enantiomers rotate plane polarized light direction to equal, but opposite angles, and interact differently with other chiral molecules. Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are nonsuperimposable mirror images. A molecule with 1 chiral carbon atom exists as 2 stereoisomers termed enantiomers. Enantiomers differ in their configuration ($\mathrm{R}$ or $\mathrm{S})$ at the stereogenic centre. Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
