Diethyl D-Tartrate, 99%

Code: D 1800

(For eg. B 1615-0108)

Diethyl tartrate is an organic compound, the ethyl ester of tartaric acid. It exists in both as a chiral isomer, showing both left- and right-handed forms, as well as a meso stereoisomer, which is not chiral. The chiral isomer is far more common.

(-)-Diethyl D-tartrate can be used as a starting material in the synthesis of bioactive compounds such as (-)-kumausallene[1], syringolide 2[2] and (+)-exo-brevicomin.[3]
