Two diastereomeric sets of enantiomers, A/B and C/D, exist for 3-bromo-2-butanol. When enantiomer A or B is treated with HBr, only racemic 2,3-dibromobutane is formed; no meso isomer is formed. When enantiomer C or D is treated with HBr, only meso 2,3-dibromobutane is formed; no racemic 2,3-dibromobutane is formed. Account for these observations.
