Talk:2,3-Butanediol

Number of Stereoisomers
2,3-butanediol has only three stereoisomers, right? the (_R_, _S_)-compound is the same as the (_S_, _R_) compound due to mirror-plane symmetry, right? I.e. we are dealing with a meso compound? I'll update the article. Tentrillion (talk)

Properties in the infobox
I think the current version of the article is ambiguous at least in its current form. Right now we don't know which value in the chemical infobox applies to which compound. 2,3-Butanediol has a pair of enantiomers, a meso compound, and a racemic mixture. Theoretically, all of these have different melting and boiling points (except the pair of enantiomers), so the values in the infobox should be specified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Assaiki (talk • contribs) 15:30, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
