Vedclass · Answer

(A) To determine the relationship between the two compounds,we assign the $R/S$ configuration to each chiral center.For the first compound (left): The chiral center with $CH_3, Br, H, Br$ (actually $C_2$ and $C_3$ of $2,3-dibromobutane$): The structure is $CH_3-CH(Br)-CH(Br)-CH_3$. By analyzing the stereocenters,we find that the two structures are non-superimposable non-mirror images of each other.Since they have the same molecular formula and connectivity but different spatial arrangements that are not mirror images,they are $Diastereomers$.
