| | English translation:This product is a mixture of epimers with the asymmetric carbon atom in position 22 | Explanation:
An epimer by definition has a single asymmetric carbon atom, so we need to use the definite article here.
Also, Julian is right to say that it is important to specify the position of the carbon atom for this to make sense.
Since the asymmetric carbon atom can be taken as read, it might be more concise to say simply:
"This product is a mixture of epimers at C-22." |
