(R,R)-Tartaric Acid Dimethyl Diester from X-Ray and Ab Initio Studies: Factors Influencing Its Conformation and Packing

The conformation of dimethyl (R,R)-tartrate has been analyzed on the basis of the single crystal X-ray diffraction method as well as by ab-initio quantum chemical studies. The results showed that the extended T conformation containing two planar hydroxyester moieties predominates in both ab-initio a...
