Software for generation of ring-chain tautomerism?

What kind of ring-chain tautomerism are you looking for? Did you try the tautomerism support for ring systems in the InChI software? If so, the Chemistry Development Kit has functionality to enumerate the tautomers, with code along the lines of:
tautomerGenerator = new InChITautomerGenerator();tautomers = tautomerGenerator.getTautomers(adenine)
I’m looking for electrophilic ring-chain tautomerism where the structure change occures between an open-chain form and a ring-form through an H-transfer (as in the structure of ribose). Yes, I tried InChI software in CDK it doesn’t support ring opening and ring closing.
Wiki broken? I added an answer, but it does not show up..
I saw an empty answer from you…
Yes, I see it now, too – but not when originally posted. A temporary hiccup? I have deleted the empty post…
