Which of the following pairs of structures represent enantiomers?

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
An even number of switches result in no change in the configuration while an odd number of switches changed the configuration to that of the enantiomers.

Since three (odd) number) switches are require for the inter-conversion, the pair of the structures represents enantiomers.
