Isomers and Stereoisomers -

Enantiomers:

  • Enantiomers are those isomers that differ in their absolute configuration at each chiral carbon such that they are non-superimposable mirror images to each other. 
  • For example, D-Glucose and L-Glucose.


Diastereomers and Epimers:

  • These are the isomers that are non-superimposable to each other and are optical isomers of each other. 
  • Epimers are diastereoisomers that differ in stereochemistry at only one stereocenter.
  • For example, D-Glucose and D-Galactose differ in the configuration at C-4. They are non-superimposable, and they are not mirror images of each other.

                              

TIP: The diastereoisomers are different compounds with different names and properties while enantiomers differ only in the direction in which they rotate polarized light. They are the same compounds.
