Question

Differentiate btw Epimers and Enantiomers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference between Enantiomers and Epimers :-

⭕ Enantiomers :-

➡️ Enantiomers are optical isomers that are non - superimposable mirror images of each other.

➡️ Different from each other at every chiral carbon.

➡️ They are mirror images of each other.

➡️ physical and chemical properties of all are same .

⭕ Epimers :-

➡️ Epimers are sterioisomers that contain more than one chiral carbon but differ from each other in the configuration of only one chiral carbon.

➡️ Different from each other at only few carbon , but not all.

➡️ They are not mirror images of each other.

➡️ Physical and chemical properties of all are different.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Enantiomers and epimers are stereoisomers. ... The main difference between enantiomers and epimers is that enantiomers are mirror images of each other whereas epimers are not mirror images of each other.
