Examples of epimers are glucose and lactose, and mannose and glucose also so option(D) is the correct one.
- lactose is an aldohexose and a C-4 epimer of glucose. A galactose molecule correlated with a glucose molecule constructs a lactose molecule.
- Glucose and mannose act as C2 epimers.
- Epimer in stereochemistry determines one of a pair of stereoisomers. At the stereogenic centre, two isomers existing in the molecules differ, while the rest persists similar. A molecule may comprise various stereocenters directing to numerous stereocenters.
- Stereoisomers are isomeric molecules that contain a similar establishment and molecular formula, but they differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.
