Which of the following is the enantiomer of the structure?

A
B
C
DIt does not have any enantiomer
Correct Answer

Solution

Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other so they are chiral molecules. $$\text{given compound}$$ $$\text{is achiral.}$$ and for this compound, nothing is giving a non-superposable mirror image for enantiomer. There is only one stereocenter. $$\text{Hence it doesn't have a non-superimposable enantiomer.}$$

Option D is correct
