1,2,3-Butanetriol has two stereocenters (carbons 2 and 3); thus, 22 = 4 stereoisomers are possible for it. Following are three-dimensional repre- sentations for each. CH,OH CH,OH CH,OH CH,OH H-C-OH H-C-OH HO-C-H HO-C-H HO-C-H H-C-OH HO-C-H H-Č-OH ČH, ČH, ČH, (1) (2) (3) (4) (a) Which stereoisomers are pairs of enantiomers? (b) Which stereoisomers are diastereomers?
