| Description: The two triose tautomers illustrate the difference between aldose and ketose monosaccharides, also called more descriptively aldotriose and ketotriose, respectively. Carbon numbering begins in all aldoses with the aldehyde carbon and in ketoses with the end carbon closest to the ketone group. The enediol intermediate through which they are interconverted is unstable and cannot be isolated.
