(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A sugar that is C3 epimer of D-xylose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Epimer: Epimer is one of a pair of stereoisomers. Epimers are the monosaccharides which differ in the structure at only one of the asymmetric center and they are particular kind of stereoisomers that are not enantiomers. For example,D-xylose and D-ribose are the C3 epimers because they differ in the configuration only at carbon number 3 starting from the above rest whole structure is same.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A sugar that is C5 epimer of D-allose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Epimer: Epimer is one of a pair of stereoisomers. Epimers are the monosaccharides which differ in the structure at only one of the asymmetric center and they are particular kind of stereoisomers that are not enantiomers. For example,D-xylose and D-ribose are the C3 epimers because they differ in the configuration only at carbon number 3 starting from the above rest whole structure is same.

c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A sugar that is C4 epimer of L-gulose is to be stated.
