Meso Tartaric Acid

Explanation:

  1. Phenol is warmed with phthalic anhydride within the sight of conc. H2SO 4 to give phenolphthalein.
  2. Meso tartaric corrosive is optically idle because of the nearness of atomic balance.
  3. It is optically idle because of inner remuneration for example the impact of one-portion of the particle is killed by other.  
  4. Mesomers are a kind of mixes where net revolution of plane spellbound light is zero.
  5. Mesomers are kind of natural mixes where two chiral carbons are available and those two are comparable , so net turn is zero .

Phenol is converted to meso tartaric acid using the long step as mentioned below.

Explanation:

  • Phenol is the benzene ring attached with a hydroxide group.
  • This phenol is reacted with Fermy's salt which gives the product as benzoquinone.
  • This benzoquinone is then electrolysed.
  • This product is actually oxidised form of benzoquinone.
  • This gives us the maleic acid.
  • This maleic acid then is oxidized using osmium tetroxide which gives us the final product of tartaric acid.
  • This is a mesomer because the tartaric acid produced has two chiral centre with different stereochemistry.
