The term anomers of glucose refers to

Options

A. isomers of glucose that differ in configurations at carbons one and four (C-1 and C-4)
B. a mixture of(D)-glucose and (L)-glucose
C. enantiomers of glucose
D. isomers of glucose that differ in configuration at carbon one (C-1)

Answer

D

Explanation

Anomers are pairs of cyclic stereoisomers of glucose differing only in configuration at the reducing anomeric carbon atom. They are named as: `alpha`-glucose and `beta` -glucose. In `alpha` -glucose OH is on right side of Cl and in `beta` -glucose OH is on left side of Cl.
