Usage

General Description

DL-Tartaric Acid is a white crystalline organic acid that occurs naturally in many plants, particularly grapes and bananas. It is commonly used in the food and beverage industry as a stabilizer and acidulant, and also in the pharmaceutical industry as an excipient in drug formulations. DL-Tartaric Acid is a chiral molecule, meaning it has two enantiomers, D-Tartaric Acid and L-Tartaric Acid, which have identical physical and chemical properties but rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions. This property makes DL-Tartaric Acid useful in resolving chiral compounds and in the production of certain pharmaceuticals. Additionally, DL-Tartaric Acid has applications in the production of skincare and cosmetic products, as well as in the manufacturing of cleaning and polishing agents. Despite its widespread use, DL-Tartaric Acid is generally recognized as safe for consumption when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices.

Effects of grinding and humidification on the transformation of conglomerate to racemic compound in optically active drugs

The effects of grinding and humidification on the transformation of conglomerate to racemic compound have been investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy for leucine, norleucine, valine, serine, tartaric acid and malic acid. Racemic physical mixtures were prepared by physical mixing of equimolar quantities of D and L crystals using a mortar and pestle. Ground mixtures were obtained by grinding the physical mixtures with a vibrational mill. Humidification was performed by storing the physical mixtures and the ground mixtures in a desiccator containing saturated aqueous salt solutions at 40(o)C. When physical mixtures of malic acid, tartaric acid and serine were ground, the XPD peaks of the racemic compounds were observed. The XPD patterns of humidified physical mixtures of these compounds also showed the formation of the racemic compounds. This indicated that grinding or humidification of malic acid, tartaric acid and serine induced the transformation of conglomerate to racemic compound crystals. When, on the other hand, the physical mixtures of valine, leucine and norleucine were ground, peaks of racemic compounds were not detected in the XPD pattern. After humidification of the ground mixtures of valine, leucine and norleucine, however, the XPD peaks of racemic compounds were observed. DSC and IR studies revealed consistent results. We concluded that grinding or humidification of malic acid, tartaric acid and serine could induce the transformation of a conglomerate to racemic compound. In contrast, humidifying after grinding was needed to bring about the transformation in leucine, norleucine and valine.

Using TEMPO and a graphite felt anode combined with a stainless steel cathode, d-glucose was oxidized under different conditions (pH, temperature, co-oxidant), and the reaction outcomes were analyzed. Optimized conditions for such oxidation are provided along with few new interesting results unique to this reaction, such as the appearance of a novel triacid.

Efficient Catalysts for the Green Synthesis of Adipic Acid from Biomass

Green synthesis of adipic acid from renewable biomass is a very attractive goal of sustainable chemistry. Herein, we report efficient catalysts for a two-step transformation of cellulose-derived glucose into adipic acid via glucaric acid. Carbon nanotube-supported platinum nanoparticles are found to work efficiently for the oxidation of glucose to glucaric acid. An activated carbon-supported bifunctional catalyst composed of rhenium oxide and palladium is discovered to be powerful for the removal of four hydroxyl groups in glucaric acid, affording adipic acid with a 99 % yield. Rhenium oxide functions for the deoxygenation but is less efficient for four hydroxyl group removal. The co-presence of palladium not only catalyzes the hydrogenation of olefin intermediates but also synergistically facilitates the deoxygenation. This work presents a green route for adipic acid synthesis and offers a bifunctional-catalysis strategy for efficient deoxygenation.

Bimetallic AuPt/TiO2Catalysts for Direct Oxidation of Glucose and Gluconic Acid to Tartaric Acid in the Presence of Molecular O2

Tartaric acid is an important industrial building block in the food and polymer industry. However, green manufacture of tartaric acid remains a grand challenge in this area. To date, chemical synthesis from nitric acid-facilitated glucose oxidation leads to only a one-pot aqueous-phase oxidation of glucose and gluconic acid using bimetallic AuPt/TiO2 catalysts in the presence of molecular O2, with ～50% yield toward tartaric acid at 110 °C and 2 MPa. Structural characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveal that the lattice mismatch between fcc Pt and bcc Au induces the formation of twinned boundaries in nanoclusters and Jahn-Teller distortion in an electronic field. Such structural and electronic reconfiguration leads to enhanced σ-activation of the C-H bond competing with π-πelectronic sharing of the C═O bond on the catalyst surface. As a result, both C-H (oxidation) and C-C (decarboxylation) bond cleavage reactions synergistically occur on the surface of bimetallic AuPt/TiO2 catalysts. Therefore, glucose and gluconic acid can be efficiently transformed into tartaric acid in a base-free medium. Lattice distortion-enhanced reconfiguration of the electronic field in Pt-based bimetallic nanocatalysts can be utilized in many other energy and environmental fields for catalyzing synergistic oxidation reactions.
