Field Note
Note
O,O'-di-p-toluoyl-(2R,3R)-tartaric acid (DPTTA) was investigated as supramolecular complex (SMC) forming resolving agent with three racemic alcohols (menthol, 4-methyl-2-pentanol, trans-2-iodo-cyclohexanol) by preparative scale experiments and thermoanalytical measurements. Despite the very small structural difference (two methyl groups) between the O,O'-dibenzoyl-(2R,3R)-tartaric acid (DBTA) and DPTTA, their SMC forming properties with water and racemic alcohols is very different
Application
Tartaric acid is often used as an acidulant in grape- and lime-flavored beverages, gelatin desserts, jams, jellies, and hard sour confectionery. The acidic monopotassium salt, more commonly known as 'cream of tartar,' is used in baking powders and leavening systems.
