Tautomerism is the phenomenon of chemical isomers (structures that have the same atomic composition, e.g. C3H6OC3H6O
) that rapidly interconvert under ambient conditions.Examples include not just carbonyl compounds (e.g. 2-propanone and prop-1-en-2-ol) but also monosaccharides: for example, αα
- and ββ
-glucose rapidly interconvert with each other, in both pyranose and furanose variants, and with open-chain glucose.
