Epimers: Epimers are a pair of stereoisomers found in stereochemistry. They are two isomers which differ in configuration at only one chiral center. If the molecule contains any other stereocenters, they are all same in both isomers.
Anomers: Anomers are a special set of epimers that differ in configuration only at the anomeric carbon. This happens when a molecule such as glucose converts into a cyclic form.
Key difference between anomers and epimers.
Epimer is a stereoisomer that differs in configuration at only one stereogenic center. An anomer is a cyclic saccharide and also an epimer that differs in the configuration, specifically at the hemiacetal or acetal carbon. This carbon is called the anomeric carbon. However, anomers are a special class of epimers.
