Analytical Studies on Alkaline Conversion Reaction of D-Tartaric Acid

Glycine–d-tartaric acid (1/1)

In the title co-crystal, C(2)H(5)NO(2)·C(4)H(6)O(6), the gylcine mol-ecule is present in the zwitterion form. In the tartaric acid mol-ecule there is a short intra-molecular O-H⋯O contact. In the crystal, the tartaric acid mol-ecules are linked via pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are linked via a number of O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the two co...

l-Ascorbic Acid Metabolism in Vitaceae: Conversion to (+)-Tartaric Acid and Hexoses.

The metabolic fate of l-ascorbic acid-1-(14)C and -6-(14)C has been investigated in two species in two genera of Vitaceae. Results suggest that ascorbic acid metabolism in the Vitaceae involves splitting the 6-carbon chain into 4- and 2-carbon fragments. The former, corresponding to C1 through C4 of ascorbic acid, is further oxidized to tartaric acid while the latter, corresponding to C5 and C6...

D-tartaric acid: a novel catalyst for green and efficient synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones by Biginelli reaction under solvent-free conditions

D-tartaric acid is successfully used as a green and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones under solvent-free conditions. The developed method has many advantages, including devoid of harmful catalyst and solvents, high yield and easily work-up.

Alkaline hydrothermal conversion of cellulose to bio-oil: influence of alkalinity on reaction pathway change.

The effects of alkalinity on alkaline hydrothermal conversion (alkaline-HTC) of cellulose to bio-oil were investigated in this study. The results showed that the initial alkalinity greatly influenced the reaction pathways. Under initial strong alkaline conditions with final pH greater than 7, alkaline-HTC only followed the alkaline pathway. However, under initial weak alkaline conditions with f...
