Are Anomers and Epimers same?
Yes, anomers and epimers are the same. In chemistry, anomers are special types of epimers.
Why all anomers are epimers but all epimers are not anomers?
Epimers are two diastereomers that differ at one stereogenic center (a chiral carbon). An anomer is is an epimer that is created after cyclization.-that is the new sterogenic center is created by a cyclization reaction.Added:This above might be true, but is an answer to the OTHER question:'Why all anomers are epimers but notall epimers are anomers'in stead of the original question:'Why all anomers are epimers but allepimers are not anomers'This origional is not fully logic when the ambiguous word 'all' is wrongly interpreted.
What are epimers?
Epimers are refer to one of two optical isomers that differ from each other only in the configuration about one asymmetric carbon atom (that is, the epimeric carbon).
What is anomers?
it is a stereoisomer that differs in configuration at only one chiral center
What is difference between epimers and enantiomers?
Epimers are those carbons that have "H" and "OH" are present and they can change their position Enantiomers are special type of isomer these are mirror image to each other
Reaction of a simple sugar with an alcohol produces?
glycoside cyclic acetal mixture of anomers
Are D-glucose and D- mannose enantiomers?
No. Epimers are sugars that differ in the configuration around one carbon atom. D-Mannose and D-Galactose differ in two carbons (C-2 and C-4). yes. D-glucose and D-mannose are epimers (difference at C-2), D-glucose and D-galactose are epimers (difference at C-4), but D-mannose and D-galactose are not epimer(difference at C-2 and C-4).
What are anomers?
It is a state or condition of individuals or society characterized by a breakdown or absence of social norms and values, as in the case of uprooted people.
Why does maltose have a and b anomers?
Maltose is a disaccharide made of 2 glucose units. So, "α" or "β" is based on the relation between the stereochemistry of the anomeric carbon and the furthest chiral centre in the ring. The α anomer is the one in which these two positions have the same configuration; they are opposite in the β anomer.
