Scheme 2.

Scheme 2

Enolization and proton exchange at C-5 of UDP-gluco-hexodialdose. If the aldehyde enolized prior to covalent intermediate formation, tritium label at C-5 could be replaced by hydrogen through label ‘wash-out’ to solvent. Similarly, deuterium could be incorporated (‘washed in’) if the reaction was performed in D2O.
