Conversion of L-rhamnose into ten of the sixteen 1-and 6-deoxyketohexoses in water with three reagents: D-tagatose-3-epimerase equilibrates C3 epimers of deoxyketoses

The efficient isomerization of l-rhamnose [the only cheaply available deoxy hexose] to 1-deoxy-l-psicose, 1-deoxy-d-psicose, 1-deoxy-l-fructose, 1-deoxy-d-fructose, 1-deoxy-l-tagatose, 6-deoxy-l-psicose, 6-deoxy-d-psicose, 6-deoxy-l-fructose, 6-deoxy-d-fructose, and 6-deoxy-l-tagatose is described....
