Answer:
The three possible stereoisomers of 1,3-cyclopentanediol are as follow,
i) (1S,3R)-1,3-Cyclopentanediol
ii) (1R,3R)-1,3-Cyclopentanediol
iii) (1S,3S)-1,3-Cyclopentanediol
Structures of all three compounds are attached below.
Explanation:
Stereoisomers: Also known as spatial isomers are those isomers which have same molecular formula and structural formula but the groups about the chiral center occupy different orientation in space.
Enantiomers: These are stereoisomers of each other which are non-identical mirror-images of each other.
Diastereomers: These are stereoisomers which are not mirror images of each other.
Meso Compounds: These are those isomers which are superimposible on its mirror image.
