(-)-DIBENZOYL-L-TARTARIC ACID MONOHYDRATE(CAS: 62708-56-9)

It is a chiral resolving agent with the chemical formula C16H14O8. This white crystalline solid exhibits optical activity and is commonly used in organic chemistry for enantiomer separation. Its diastereomeric form plays a key role in stereochemistry studies and pharmaceutical applications.

It is widely employed in pharmaceutical synthesis to resolve racemic mixtures into enantiomerically pure compounds. Its applications include drug development, organic synthesis, and research involving chiral catalysts. It also serves as a reagent in chemical processes requiring stereocontrolled reactions.

It is generally considered safe when handled according to standard chemical safety protocols. While not classified as toxic, precautions include wearing gloves and safety goggles to avoid skin or eye contact. Proper storage and ventilation are recommended to ensure compliance with OSHA and other safety guidelines.

Store in a cool, dry place (below 25°C), away from light and moisture. Keep in airtight containers to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Avoid exposure to heat or humidity to preserve its optical activity and chemical integrity.
