Stereoisomers encompass enantiomers (non-superimposable mirror images), epimers (differing at a single chiral center), and diastereoisomers (differing at multiple chiral centers).
Types of stereoisomers include enantiomers (mirror images), epimers (differing at one chiral center), and diastereoisomers (differing at two or more chiral centers).
| Front | Types of stereoisomers |
|---|---|
| Back | Enantiomers: mirro-images Epimers: different arrangement of -H and -OH at only 1 carbon atom Diastereoisomers: different arrangement of -H and -OH at 2 or more carbon atoms |
