The number of racemic mixture obtained by optical isomers of 2, 3-dihydroxy butanal is/are

A

Three

B

Two

C

One

D

Zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`CH_(3) - overset(**) underset(OH)underset(|)( C)H- overset(**)underset(OH)underset(|)( C) H - CHO`
Number of stereoisomers = `2^(n) = 4`.
Here 2 racemic mixtures are obtained.
