(2S,3S)-2,3-bis(benzoyloxy)succinic acid is a chiral diester derivative of tartaric acid used primarily as an intermediate in asymmetric synthesis. Its molecular formula is C16H14O8 with CAS number 13709-59-0. Production typically involves the esterification of optically active tartaric acid with benzoyl chloride under controlled conditions.
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis. Handle with appropriate PPE to avoid skin and eye irritation; ensure adequate ventilation during processing to mitigate dust inhalation risks.
