The "formoin reaction" : A promising entry to carbohydrates from formaldehyde

Formaldehyde condensation catalyzed by the conjugate bases of thiazolium ions, leads to a complex mixture ("formoin mixture") of unbranched aldoses and ketoses, in which glucose, galactose, glyceraldehyde dimer, xylose and arabinose have been identified.
