Question

Among the following, the conformation that corresponds to the most stable conformation of meso-butane-2,3-diol is (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In option (B), given configuration represents meso - butane - 2, 3-diol and due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding, the gauche form is more stable. Option (C) and (D) does not represent meso - isomer.

Q. Among the following, the conformation that corresponds to the most stable conformation of meso-butane- $2, 3$ -diol is

In option (B), given configuration represents meso - butane - $2, 3$ -diol and due to intramolecular hydrogen
bonding, the gauche form is more stable.
Option (C) and (D) does not represent meso - isomer.
