L (+) tartaric acid by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as 2,3-Dihydroxybutanedioic acid, this is a chiral organic compound. It is available as a white powder which is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 171 to 174 C. L-(+)-tartaric acid isomer of tartaric acid is industrially obtained from lees, a solid by-product of fermentations. While this reagent is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing reagents. CAS No.: 87-69-4 Quantity Provided: 5 kg per bottle Molecular formula: C4H6O6 Molecular weight: 150.09 Assay: Minimum 99.5 %L (+) tartaric acid has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivative compounds. L-(+)-tartaric acid has been used in the production of effervescent salts, in combination with citric acid, to improve the taste of oral medications. It has the ability to chelate metal ions such as calcium and magnesium. L-(+)-tartaric acid finds use in farming and metal industries as a chelating agent for complexing micronutrients in soil fertilizer and for cleaning metal surfaces consisting of aluminium, copper, iron, and alloys of these metals, respectively. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
