An anomer is a special kind of epimer. Anomers is 1 of 2 stereoisomers of a cyclic saccharide which differs only in its configuration at the hemiacetal or hemiketal carbon, also said to be as the anomeric carbon
Either of a couple of cyclic stereoisomers designated α or β of a sugar or glycoside, differing only in configuration at the reducing carbon atom.anomer´
Anomers are designated α incase the configuration at the anomeric carbon is similar as that at the reference asymmetric carbon in a Fischer projection. Incase the configuration differs the anomer is designated β. The α- and β-forms of glucose are the best examples of anomers
In our next blog we shall learn about dehydrohalogenation I hope the above explanation was useful.Keep reading and leave your comments.
