Summary Introduction

To review:

The classification of the following sugar pairsintoenantiomers, diastereomers, epimers, or aldose-ketose pair:

a. D-erythrose and D-threose

b. D-glucose and D-mannose

c. D-ribose and L-ribose

d. D-allose and D-galactose

e. D-glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone.

Introduction:

Stereoisomers are those compounds thatdiffer only in the arrangement of an atom in their structure. Enantiomers are those type of stereoisomersthat are mirror images of each other. The stereoisomers that are not enantiomers are called diastereomers. Epimers are those diastereomersthatdiffer in the position of a single asymmetric carbon atom.
