Enediol

Enediol

(Science: chemistry) The atomic arrangement -C(OH)=C(OH)-produced by proton migration from the CH of a -CHOH group that is attached to a -CO-group to the oxygen of the -CO-group (usually induced by alkali), giving rise to doubly bonded carbon atoms (the -ene group), each bearing a -COH group (a diol); a special case of enolization.

on enediol forms.

biochemistry really tires me out. I have a question, which i havent been able to clear out. the enediol forms:- do enediols exist for fructose, mannose, glucose mutarotating isomers too? or is it only one specific form (i.e., alpha or beta)

Why does fructose not form polymers like glucose?

... group if we dee it as an acyclic form. this reduction involves a keto-enol tautomerism where, fructose/glucose will be converted into cis-1,2-enediol form (this is the reason why glucose and fructose can be interconverted).
