NEET 2000 Chemistry question

-D-glucose and -D-glucose are :

(1)Epimers
(2)AnomerCorrect
(3)Enantiomers
(4)Diastereomers

Answer: (2)

Solution

In the cyclic (pyranose) forms of D-glucose, C-1 becomes a new chiral centre (the anomeric carbon). The two cyclic forms that differ only in the configuration at C-1 are the - and -anomers. Epimers differ at any other single chiral
