Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-D-glucopyranose and F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-D-glucopyranose are stereoisomers of each other that differ in their orientation of the hydroxyl group at carbon 1. Specifically, F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-D-glucopyranose has the hydroxyl group on carbon 1 pointing down (axial orientation) while F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-D-glucopyranose has it pointing up (equatorial orientation). This difference in orientation makes them anomers, a subtype of diastereomers. The other choices are not applicable.
