Two possible stereo-structures of CH3CHOH.COOH, which are optically active, are called:
Diastereomers
Atropisomers
Enantiomers
Mesomers
As we learnt in
Optically active compound -
Those compounds having capacity to rotate plane polarised light is called optically active compound.
- wherein
These are mirror image non-super imposible to each other and one called enantiomers
