Dibenzoyl-D-Tartaric Acid

Its ability to resolve racemic mixtures into pure enantiomers is critical for pharmaceutical applications, where chirality affects therapeutic activity. (2S,3S)-2,3-bis(benzoyloxy)butanedioic acid serves as a chiral resolving agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry to separate enantiomers, and as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of specific drugs.
