Question

The correct statement(s) about the compound $H_3C(HO)HC-CH=CH-CH(OH)CH_3(X)$ is/are

• A. The total number of stereoisomers possible for $X$ is $6$
• B. The total number of diastereomers possible for $X$ is $3$
• C. If the stereochemistry about the double bond in $X$ is trans, the number of enantiomers possible for $X$ is $4$
• D. If the stereochemistry about the double bond in $X$ is cis, the number of enantiomers possible for $X$ is $2$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

If the stereochemistry about the double bond in $X$ is cis, the number of enantiomers possible for $X$ is $2$

Answer 2

Total six isomers. In both cis and trans forms, there are two
enantiomers each.
