Distinguish enantiomers from diastereomer.

Open in App

Solution

Enantiomer
Diastereomer
(i) Optical isomers having the same magnitude but different sign of optical rotation.
Differ in the magnitude of optical rotation.
(ii) They have configuration with non-super importable object mirror image relationship.
They are never mirror images.
(iii) Enantiomers are identical in all properties except the sign of optical rotation.
Diasteromers differ in all physical properties.
(iv) Separation of enantiomers is a tedious process.
Separation from the other pains of enantiomers is easy.
