(2R,4S)-2,4-Dichloropentane and (2S,4R)-2,4-dichloropentane are:

Adiastereomers
Bconstitutional isomers
Cenantiomer
Didentical
Correct Answer

Solution

2,4-Dichloropentane has two chlorine atoms at carbon number 2 and 4. Hence we can number it from both sides and hence even if the configuration is changed from 2R,4S to 2S,4R, it will not make any change. Hence the two molecules are identical.
