Two possible stereo-structures of CH3CHOH.COOH, which are optically active, are called:

1. Diastereomers
2. Atropisomers
3. Enantiomers
4. Mesomers

Correct answer: Enantiomers

Solution

The two optically active stereo-structures of CH3CHOH.COOH are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, which are called enantiomers.
