Question

Unlike enantiomers, Diastereomers do not share a mirror-image relationship. What is the primary consequence of this geometrical difference in the laboratory?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Because diastereomers have different overall 3D spatial geometries, the distances between their atoms vary. They possess vastly different physical properties (different boiling points, melting points, solubilities), allowing them to be separated easily without complex resolution techniques.
