Scheme 2

Metabolic fate of isotopes during the transformation of D-glucose to the HDMF tautomers (summarized from [85]). The complete carbon chain (blue dots) of D-glucose was recovered in HDMF. Hydrogen atom (green) located in position 4 of D-glucose was lost during the transformation whereas hydrogen atom (blue) at position 2 in D-glucose was shifted to carbon 1 in HDMF. Hydrogen atoms located at position 1 (red) and 6 (pink) in D-glucose remained attached to the same carbon in HDMF.
