alpha-D (+)-glucose and beta-D(+)-glucos...

`alpha-D (+)-`glucose and `beta-D(+)-`glucose are:

A

anomers

B

epimers

C

enantiomers

D

geometrical isomers

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Diastereomers with more than one stereocenter that differ in the configuration about only one stereocenter are called epimers. Anomers are epimers whose configuration differ about the `(C - 1. alpha - D - (+) -` glucose and `beta - D - (+) -` glucose and anomers as they differ only in the configuration carbon (The aldehyde carbon before cyclisation).
