Concept introduction:
Sugars show different types of isomerism. They may be enantiomers, epimers, anomers, or diastereomers depending upon chirality and plane of symmetry in molecules. It also depends on stereochemistry of different carbons.

Answer to Problem 24.39AP
The compounds,
Explanation of Solution
Sugars can be divided into two groups based on the symmetry of carbon atoms. If the molecule has asymmetric carbon atom it will have a non superimposable mirror image. The non superimposable mirror images are known as enantiomers. As the given compounds are non super imposable mirror images of each other they are enantiomers. This can be well explained by the illustrations shown below.

Answer to Problem 24.39AP
The compounds,
Explanation of Solution
As the isomers are the compounds, having similar chemical formula but different structures. These two compounds have same chemical formula. The chemical structure is of these two compounds is quite different as shown in Figure 4.

- 3. SYNTHESIS. Propose a sequence of synthetic steps (FGI) that convert the starting material (SM) into the Target molecule. For each FGI in your proposed synthesis, specify the reagents / conditions, and draw the product(s) of that FGI. DO NOT INCLUDE the FGI mxn in the answer you submit. If an FGI requires two reagent sets, specify the order in which the reagent sets are added, e.g., i) Hg(OAc)2 / H₂O; ii) NaBH4/MeOH. Indicate the stereochemistry (if any) of the products of each FGI.
