Q87 / 180 · AIIMS 2006 · Chemistry

Methyl- $\alpha$-D-glucoside and methyl- $\beta$-D-glucoside are

  • A
    epimers
  • Correct answer
    B
    anomers
  • C
    enantiomers
  • D
    conformational diastereomers.

Solution

Methyl- $\alpha-D$-glucoside and methyl- $\beta-D$ glucoside differs at $\mathrm{C}-1$, hence are called anomers. Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
