Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-D-glucopyranose and F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-D-glucopyranose are anomers because they differ only in the configuration at the anomeric carbon (the carbon adjacent to the oxygen in the ring). In this case, the α and β refer to the specific stereochemistry at this carbon. Enantiomers are mirror images of each other, diastereomers differ in configuration at some stereocenters but not all, and constitutional isomers have different connectivity of atoms.
