Description

(+)-Diisopropyl L-Tartrate CAS NO 2217-15-4 is a high-purity chiral auxiliary and building block derived from natural L-tartaric acid. This compound is valued for its ability to induce asymmetry in chemical synthesis, enabling the production of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It is essential for research and manufacturing in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries where precise stereochemical control is critical.

Application

• As a chiral resolving agent for the separation of racemic mixtures.
• Key chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis, including Diels-Alder and aldol reactions.
• Building block for synthesizing complex natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Intermediate in the production of catalysts and ligands for homogeneous catalysis.
• Used in the development of liquid crystals and advanced polymeric materials.
• Starting material for flavor and fragrance compounds requiring specific stereochemistry.
