Which of the following will have a meso-isomer also?
- A2- chlorobutane
- B2- hydroxypropanoic acid
- C2,3 – dichloropentane
- D2,3- dichlorobutane
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A meso compound must have at least two chiral centers and a plane of symmetry.2,3-dichlorobutane has two identical chiral centers ( and both bonded to and the other chiral group). The configuration has a plane of symmetry, making it a meso isomer.2,3-dichloropentane has non-identical chiral centers, so no meso form is possible.
