Anomeric is the method of conversion of 1 anomer to the other. Anomerization is the anomeric analogue of epimerization.
The anomeric centre is in hemiacetals the anomeric carbon C-1 that is attached to the hemiacetal oxygen & in hemiketals carbon C-2, attached to the hemiketal oxygen. In aldohexoses & smaller carbohydrates the anomeric reference atom is the furthest chiral centre in the ring. In α-D-glucopyranose the reference atom is C-5.
