Question:
Which of the following stereoisomers is a major image of itself?
Which of the following stereoisomers is a major image of itself?
Show Hint
Epimers are a subset of diastereomers that differ at exactly one chiral center.
Updated On: Dec 11, 2025
- Anomer
- Epimer
- Meso compound
- Geometric isomer
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
An epimer is a stereoisomer that differs in the configuration of a single chiral center. Epimers can be considered as a mirror image of each other at the chiral center.
Thus, the correct answer is (b) Epimer.
