Consider the following structures `(A),(B),(C )` and `(D)`.





Which of the following statements is not correct?

A

`(A)`and`(C )` are enantiomers

B

`(A)`and`(B)`are enantiomers

C

`(B)`and`(D)`are enantiomers

D

`(B)`and`(C )`are identical

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The priority order is `Br gt CIgt C_(2)H_(5) gt CH_(3)`.
`(A)` is `(S)`

`(B)` is `(R )`

`(C )` is `(R )`
`(D)` is `(R )`
Since both `(B)` and `(D)` have been assigned `R-`configuration, they are not enantiomers but are identical compounds.
