Observe the following reaction:
Which statement is not correct about the above observation?

Options

A. The product mixture of step-1 is optically active
B. The product `R'R` and `R'S` have identical structural formula
C. `R'R` is noonsuperimposable on `R'S`
D. `R'R` and `R'S` have same solubility in water

Answer

D

Explanation

R'R and R'S are diastereomers and have different physical properties like water solubility B.P., M.P. Etc.
Mixture of diastreomers is optically active hence the product mixture in step 1 is optically active.
