C3 epimer of D-fructose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Epimers are the monosaccharide which differs 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.
