The absolute configuration of JEE Main 2016 (Offline) Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 230 English is :
  1. A
    (2S,3S)(2S, 3S)(2S,3S)
  2. B
    (2R,3R)(2R, 3R)(2R,3R)
  3. C
    (2R,3S)(2R, 3S)(2R,3S)
  4. D
    (2S,3R)(2S, 3R)(2S,3R)

Correct answer: QUESTION INCOMPLETE: STRUCTURE MISSING, SO CONFIGURATION CANNOT BE ASSIGNED.

The question statement appears to be incomplete: it says “The absolute configuration of is:” but the actual structure/molecule is missing.

Without the structure, the absolute configuration at C-2 and C-3 cannot be determined, because assigning R/SR/SR/S requires:

  1. Identifying the two stereocentres,
  2. Assigning CIP priorities at each centre,
  3. Orienting the lowest-priority group away,
  4. Checking whether the sequence 1→2→31 \to 2 \to 31→2→3 is clockwise (RRR) or anticlockwise (SSS).

Since none of this is possible without the molecule, the answer cannot be derived from the information provided.

Conclusion

The problem is not solvable as written because the compound/structure is absent.

Therefore, I cannot legitimately verify whether the correct answer is (2S,3R)(2S,3R)(2S,3R) or any other option.

If you provide the missing structural formula or image, I can determine the absolute configuration step-by-step.
