D-galactose and D-glucose are |
|
Answer» D-Galactose is an epimer of D-glucose because the two sugars differ only in the configuration at C-4 . D-Mannose is an epimer of D-glucose because the two sugars differ only in the configuration at C-2 . When a molecule such as glucose converts to a cyclic form, it generates a new chiral centre at C-1 |
