Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references Diethyl tartrate is the ethyl ester of tartaric acid. It is chiral, showing both left- and right-handed forms, as well as a meso stereoisomer.
In the Sharpless epoxidation, diethyl tartrate and titanium isopropoxide form a chiral catalyst in situ.
