Definitions:

Diastereomers

Stereoisomers which are not reflections of one another and possess distinct physical and chemical characteristics.

Cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane

An isomer of dimethylcyclopentane where the two methyl groups are on the same side of the ring structure, leading to specific stereochemical properties.

Trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane

An isomer of dimethylcyclopentane characterized by the two methyl groups being on opposite sides of the cyclopentane ring.

(S)-2-hydroxybutanoic Acid

An optically active form of hydroxybutanoic acid, which has a specific spatial configuration designated as S (from the Latin sinister, meaning left).
