Question
Write the definition of anomer.
✓
Answer
Anomer : In the anomer-cyclic structure, glucose has two forms. One is called $\alpha- D$-glucose and the other is called $\beta$-D-glucose. In both forms, the first carbon is asymmetric and is called anomer. In $\alpha$-glucose, - OH group is present on the right side while in $\beta$-glucose it is present on the left side, since this difference occurs at Cl , it is called anomeric carbon.
