Study Notes

Stereoisomers of 2-Bromo-3-Chloro Butanoic Acid

2-bromo-3-chloro butanoic acid has two chiral centers, carbon 2 and 3.
This leads to a total of 2^2 = 4 possible stereoisomers.

Enantiomers

Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
One pair of enantiomers of 2-bromo-3-chloro butanoic acid would be:
- (2R,3R)-2-bromo-3-chloro butanoic acid
- (2S,3S)-2-bromo-3-chloro butanoic acid

Diastereomers

Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other.
In the context of 2-bromo-3-chloro butanoic acid, diastereomers will have at least one chiral center with the same configuration and one with the opposite configuration.
A pair of diastereomers for 2-bromo-3-chloro butanoic acid would be:
- (2R,3R)-2-bromo-3-chloro butanoic acid
- (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-chloro butanoic acid
