6 Questions
Which of the following best describes epimers?
Optical isomers that differ in distribution of H and OH groups around a single asymmetric carbon atom.
Which carbon atom is not considered when determining epimers?
Anomeric carbon
What is the main difference between epimers and other optical isomers?
Distribution of H and OH groups around a single asymmetric carbon atom
Which carbon atom is considered when determining anomers?
C1
What is the main difference between anomers and epimers?
Anomers differ in distribution of H and OH groups around the anomeric carbon atom, while epimers differ in the configuration of multiple chiral centers.
Which of the following is an example of anomers?
α-glucose and β-glucose
