Description
The synthesis of 2,3 dimethyl-tartaric acid (DMTA) can be achieved in one step using pyruvic acid as raw material and ionizing radiation as an energy source. The reaction may have synthetic applications because the reduction product was nearly exclusively DMTA (∼ 73%) which easily can be isolated and purified. Other products were carbon dioxide, acetic acid and some polycarboxylic acids. (author)
