Monosaccharides can be reduced to form corresponding alcohols, such as D-Glucose to D-Sorbitol, and D-Galactose to D-Dulcitol. Sorbitol is used as an artificial sweetener and accumulates in tissues in diabetes, while Mannitol serves as an osmotic diuretic. Additionally, monosaccharides undergo tautomerization in alkaline solutions, leading to isomerization and the formation of reactive enediols.
