a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A sugar that is C3 epimer of D-xylose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Epimers are the monosaccharides which differ in the structure at only one of the asymmetric center and they are particular kind of stereoisomers that are not enantiomers.  For example,D-xylose and D-ribose are the C3 epimers because they differ in the configuration only at carbon number 3 starting from the above rest whole structure is same.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A sugar that is C5 epimer of D-allose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Epimers are the monosaccharides which differ in the structure at only one of the asymmetric center and they are particular kind of stereoisomers that are not enantiomers. For example, D-xylose and D-ribose are the C3 epimers because they differ in the configuration only at carbon number 3 starting from the above rest whole structure is same.

c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A sugar that is C4 epimer of L-gulose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Epimers are the monosaccharides which differ in the structure at only one of the asymmetric center and they are particular kind of stereoisomers that are not enantiomers. For example, D-xylose and D-ribose are the C3 epimers because they differ in the configuration only at carbon number 3 starting from the above rest whole structure is same.

d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A sugar that is C4 epimer of D-lyxose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Epimers are the monosaccharides which differ in the structure at only one of the asymmetric center and they are particular kind of stereoisomers that are not enantiomers. For example, D-xylose and D-ribose are the C3 epimers because they differ in the configuration only at carbon number 3 starting from the above rest whole structure is same.
