what is difference between anomers and enantiomers?
16056
All other stereocenters in the molecules are the same in each. Anomer is also an epimer where configuration is different at the hemiacetal/acetal/ketal carbon in the cyclic form. ... Enantiomers are the pair of optically active molecules where one is mirror image to another.

Structural (constitutional) isomers have the same molecular formula but a different bonding arrangement among the atoms. Stereoisomers have identical molecular formulas and arrangements of atoms. They differ from each other only in the spatial orientation of groups in the molecule.
367824
Stereoisomers that differ at some stereocenters but not at others are not mirror images, so they are not enantiomers. Instead, they are diastereomers. A diastereomer is simply any stereoisomer that is not an enantiomer. ... Any given molecule has its enantiomer; the two other molecules are its diastereomers.

A meso compound is a molecule that contains two stereogenic centres with a plane of symmetry. ... The chiral molecule and its mirror image are not superimposable and therefore, they are two different molecules, however, a meso compound and its mirror image are the same and therefore, they cannot be enantiomers.

Isomers are classified as structural isomers, which have the same number of atoms of each element and molecular weight but different bonding patterns (see chemical bond ), or as stereoisomers, which have the same number of atoms of each element, molecular weight, and bonding pattern but in which the atoms have ...

D and L enantiomersEdit D and L enantiomers refer to the configurational stereochemistry of the molecule. L isomers have the hydroxy group attached to the left side of the asymmetric carbon furthest from the carbonyl, while D isomers have the hydroxy group on the right side.

An anomer is a type of geometric variation found at certain atoms in carbohydrate molecules. ... An anomer is an epimer at the hemiacetal/hemiketal carbon in a cyclic saccharide, an atom called the anomeric carbon.

(a) Aldotetrose has two asymmetric carbon atoms. There are two pairs of enantiomers.

α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose are stereoisomers - they differ in the 3-dimensional configuration of atoms/groups at one or more positions. ... More specifically, they are a class of stereoisomer called an anomer. Anomers are capable of interconverting in solution.

Diastereomers arise when at least two molecules share at least one (but not all) chiral center(s) with identical (R/S) configuration. ... (obviously, if the two molecules have the same connectivity with all the R/S designations are the same, the two molecules are also the same)

Isomer is the molecule which having same molecular formula but different chemical structure. ... This isomers having same bond structure but having different geometrical position of atoms and functional group in space. Enantiomer is the isomer which the molecules are mirror image to each other and having a chiral center.

When an atom is connected to three different atoms or groups of atoms, that's called a stereocenter. ... Stereoisomers are the result of stereocenters. Chiral centers occur when a carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or groups of atoms. Chiral molecules are not identical but are mirror images of each other.

Isomers are different compounds with the same molecular formula but that are structurally different in some way. ... Constitutional isomers differ in the order in which the atoms are connected together.
1249018
Constitutional isomers are called structural isomers in some textbooks. Stereoisomers: Two molecules with the same constitution but different stereochemistry. ... Conformational isomers are temporarily different shapes of the same molecule and for this reason are not classified as isomers in some textbooks.

A chiral object is not identical in all respects (i.e. superimposable) with its mirror image. An achiral object is identical with (superimposable on) its mirror image. Chiral objects have a "handedness", for example, golf clubs, scissors, shoes and a corkscrew.

D-Mannose is an epimer of D-glucose because the two sugars differ only in the configuration at C-2 . When a molecule such as glucose converts to a cyclic form, it generates a new chiral centre at C-1 . ... Anomers are special cases — they are epimers that differ in configuration only at the anomeric carbon.

Hence, a meso compound is a stereoisomer of its optically active isomers. When you draw the two mirror image isomers of a meso compound, you are just looking at different views of the same compound. A meso compound is a single compound. You can't separate it into two different compounds.
