Description
Summary:Gaining knowledge of the isomerization mechanisms are of pivotal importancefor stereochemically pure synthesis. Optically pure tartaric acid basedsurfactants are seen as important precursors for optically active superstructures.From these superstructures, liposomes are known canditates for drugdelivery nanovessels in the human body.A number of optically pure reference compounds were synthesized and severalanalysis methods were outlined.A mechanistic route for formation of cyclic tartrimides in nonpolar solvents have beenproposed on the background of various mechanistic assessment techniques.
