DescriptionMeso-Tartaric acid, also known as (2R,3R)-tartaric acid or (R,R)-tartrate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar acids and derivatives. Sugar acids and derivatives are compounds containing a saccharide unit which bears a carboxylic acid group. Meso-Tartaric acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
