Abstract
⺠A pair of stereoisomers that differ at only one stereogenic center are epimers. ⺠Stereoisomers that differ at all stereogenic centers bar one are inverse epimers. ⺠Differentiating between a case of epimers or inverse epimers can be challenging. ⺠This is because the epimer and the inverse epimer of a compound are enantiomers. ⺠VCD has the potential to readily distinguish between the two cases.
