Question
Chapter 16, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The epimers of D-glucose have to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The compound with molecular formula
The pair of stereoisomers is known as epimer. The two isomers in one pair have different configuration at only one stereo genic centre.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 18P
The epimer of D-glucose is D-galactose.
Explanation of Solution
The epimer of D-glucose is D-galactose because the configuration of D-galactose is only different at the fourth carbon atom as shown in Figure
Figure
Therefore, D-galactose is also known as
Conclusion
The epimer of D-glucose was identified.
