Q. Some of the pair of monosaccharides are given below:
(I) Allose, atrose (II) Glucose, fructose
(III) Glucose, mannose (IV) Mannose, fructose
(V) Glucose, indose (VI) Galactose, talose
(VII) Galactose, glucose (VIII) Indose, glucose
How many of the above pairs are $C-2$ epimers?

Biomolecules

Solution:

Only the pairs of (allose, atrose), (glucose, mannose), (glucose, indose) and (galactose, talose) contain $C-2$ epimers.
