- ✓Change of configuration
- BAddition of one more '$C$'
- CSubstration of a '$C$'
- DConversion of $ - CHO$ to $ - C = O$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Change of configuration
a
Epimerization is the process by which two compounds formed are epimers i.e. two compounds suffer in configuration only at one chiral center rest configuration of two compounds is same.For example, glucose and galactose are Epimers of each other, as they differ in only in the position of the hydroxyl group at $C_4$ (a chiral carbon atom).
