Ncert Exercises & Solutions

There cyclic structures of monosaccharides are given below which of these are anomers.

1. I and II
2. II and III
3. I and III
4. III is anomer of I and II

Hint: Anomers differ from each other in their structure at first carbon

Anomers are the cyclic structures of monosaccharides which differ in the structure at carbon-1 are known as anomers.

Here, I and ll are anomer because they differ from each other at carbon- 1 only.
