XXII.—Note on the chloromaleic acid obtained from tartaric acid

Significance of urinary tartaric acid.

p-Coumaroyl-meso-tartaric acid from spinach chloroplast preparations.

In a recent publication1 we reported on the isolation and identification of flavonoids and cinnamic acid derivatives from spinach chloroplast preparations. These cinnamic acid derivatives and flavonoids are obtained as low molecular fractions I and II from a water extract — called S^eth — from ether treated lyophilized chloroplasts, which is assumed to contain functional components of the photo...

Tartaric Acid Dehydrogenase Activity in Higher Plants1,2

Although the tartrates have been considered as possible metabolites in higher plants since the initial work of Pasteur in 1848, surprisingly little is known of their actual physiological significance. Vickery and Palmer (35) have briefly reviewed the history of (+)-tartrate in plants, including the problems of identification and of nomenclature. They conclude that (+)-tartrate is an uncommon pl...

l-Asparagine–l-tartaric acid (1/1)

In the title compound, C(4)H(8)N(2)O(3)·C(4)H(6)O(6), the amino acid mol-ecule exists as a zwitterion and the carb-oxy-lic acid in an un-ionized state. The tartaric acid mol-ecules are linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The amino acid mol-ecules are also linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The alternating tartaric acid...

Syntheses of C2-symmetric vicinal diamines derived from tartaric acid

C2-symmetric vicinal diamines 3b–f, derived from L-tartaric acid, with increasingly bulky terminal ether functionalities were prepared using two distinct sequences. Diamines 3b,c were obtained from the corresponding vicinal diols 4b,c, while diamines 3d–f were generated from dihydroxydiazide 7 via deprotection–reprotection strategies. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
