(+)-Dibutyl tartrate

Description:

(+)-Dibutyl tartrate is an organic compound classified as a chiral diester derived from tartaric acid. It is characterized by its two butyl groups esterified to the hydroxyl groups of the tartaric acid backbone. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic butyl groups. The presence of chirality in dibutyl tartrate allows it to exhibit optical activity, making it useful in various applications, including as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis. Additionally, it serves as a solvent and plasticizer in the formulation of polymers and other materials. Its low toxicity and biodegradable nature make it an attractive option in green chemistry applications. Overall, (+)-Dibutyl tartrate is valued for its functional properties in both industrial and laboratory settings.
