Concept introduction:
Sugars show different types of isomerism. They may be enantiomers, epimers, anomers, or diastereomers depending upon chirality and plane of symmetry in molecules. It also depends on stereochemistry of different carbons.

Concept introduction:
Sugars show different types of isomerism between molecules. They may be enantiomers, epimers, anomers, or diastereomers depending upon chirality and plane of symmetry in molecules. It also depends on stereochemistry of different carbons.
Answer to Problem 24.39AP
The compounds,
Explanation of Solution
Sugars can be divided into two groups based on the symmetry of carbon atoms. If the molecule has asymmetric carbon atom it will have a non superimposable mirror image. The non superimposable mirror images are known as enantiomers. As the given compounds are non super imposable mirror images of each other they are enantiomers. This can be well explained by the illustrations shown below.

Concept introduction:
Sugars show different types of isomerism between molecules. They may be enantiomers, epimers, anomers, or diastereomers depending upon chirality and plane of symmetry in molecules. It also depends on stereochemistry of different carbons.
Answer to Problem 24.39AP
The compounds,
Explanation of Solution
As the isomers are the compounds, having similar chemical formula but different structures. These two compounds have same chemical formula. The chemical structure is of these two compounds is quite different as shown in Figure 4.

Concept introduction:
Sugars show different types of isomerism between molecules. They may be enantiomers, epimers, anomers, or diastereomers depending upon chirality and plane of symmetry in molecules. It also depends on stereochemistry of different carbons.
Answer to Problem 24.39AP
Explanation of Solution
As the isomers are the compounds, having similar chemical formula but different structures. Both the above structures are constitutional isomers as shown below in the Figure.
Figure 5
In the above shown compounds, one is a ring structure having keto group while the other is open ring structure having aldehyde as the functional group. The chemical formula of the given compounds is same but their properties are totally different.
