Chapter 4.10, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The crystalline solid stereoisomer of 3-amino-2-butanol other than (2R,3S)-3-amino-2-butanol is to be named.

Concept introduction:

Enantiomers are stereoisomers but non-superimposable mirror images.

Enantiomers have similar physical properties like density, melting point and boiling point.

The configuration at the corresponding chiral centers is exactly opposite in case of enantiomers.

Diastereomers are stereoisomers and are not mirror images of each other.

Diastereomers have very different physical and chemical properties.

Diastereomers have at least two chiral centers and they are not mirror images of each other; they must have an opposite configuration for at least one chirality centers.
