Enantiomers of 2-butanol and Optical Activity

Medium Organic Chemistry Stereochemistry

In the context of stereochemistry, consider the molecule 2-butanol, which can exist in two enantiomeric forms due to the presence of a stereogenic center. When analyzing the properties of these enantiomers, it's essential to understand how their spatial arrangement affects various reactions, particularly in terms of their interaction with chiral reagents. Which statement accurately describes an important aspect of these two enantiomers?
