Novel C-2 epimerization of aldoses and stereoselective uptake of one of the epimeric aldoses by nickel(II) complexes

Abstract
Aldoses are rapidly epimerized at C-2 in the presence of [Ni(H2O)2(tmen)2]Cl2(tmen =N,N,N′-trimethylethylenediamine) and, of the two C-2 epimers, nickel(II) ions form complexes with only the mannose-type epimers (D-mannose, D-lyxose, and D- or L-rhamnose) stereoselectively.
