Anomer z An anomer is one of a special pair of diastereomeric aldoses or ketoses – differ only in configuration about the carbonyl carbon (C1 for aldoses and C2 for ketoses)

Carbonyl Group z Carbonyl groups subject to nucleophilic attack, since carbonyl carbon is electron deficient: – -OH groups on the same molecule act as nucleophile, add to carbonyl carbon to recreate ring form
