We have isolated the magnetochiral refraction in Pasteur’s tartrates and deduced the associated magnetochiral absorption. The presence of a strong peak at 235 nm in the magnetochiral absorption spectrum of tartrates shows that Pasteur’s first attempt to induce chirality with a magnetic field could perhaps have succeeded, provided that a UV source was simultaneously used.

Salts of tartaric acid administered subcutaneously to fasting phlorhizinized animals exert a markedly detrimental influence upon the secretory efficiency of the kidney, which is indicated by a greatly lessened output of certain typical urinary constituents. A histological study of the nephritic kidney demonstrates that the salts act specifically upon the epithelium of the convoluted tubules, an...

An abiotic formation of meso- and DL-tartrates in 80% yield via the cyanide-catalyzed dimerization of glyoxylate under alkaline conditions is demonstrated. A detailed mechanism for this conversion is proposed, supported by NMR evidence and (13)C-labeled reactions. Simple dehydration of tartrates to oxaloacetate and an ensuing decarboxylation to form pyruvate are known processes that provide a r...

The processes of oxidative thermolysis bismuth tartrates [Bi(NO3)(C4H4O6)]·3H2O and BiC4H3O6·H2O precipitated from nitrate solutions was studied by the methods X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, IR spectroscopy chemical analysis. staging transformation determined.

The structures of six 1-phenylethylammonium tartrates have been determined and in each of them a distinctive hydrogen-bonded anion substructure can be identified. (S)-1-Phenylethylammonium (R,R)-hydrogen tartrate [(I), P21, Z'=1] contains anion sheets built from a single type of R4(4)(22) ring with cations pendent, via three N-H...O hydrogen bonds, from just one face of the sheet. (S)-1-Phenyle...

can be considered cured and the antimony treatment discontinued. From time to time since the introduction of the treatment with the antimony tartrates various rules have been suggested for the course of treatment that is necessary to effect a cure; these rules have become more and more elastic and there is usually a very decided tendency towards prolongation of the course. Sir Leonard Rogers fi...
