I'm sure that butane 2,3 diol has 2 optical isomers and one meso isomer. Because if a compound contains similar asymmetric carbon atoms, the there will be a plane of symmetry in that compound.
This compound has 2 asymmetric carbon atoms.
No. of optical isomers can be calculated by the formula 2 power n-1.
