(S)-1-Hydroxy-propan-2-aminium (2R,3R)-3-carb-oxy-2,3-dihydroxy-propanoate monohydrate
Abstract:
The chiral title compound, C(4)H(10)NO(+)·C(4)H(5)O(6) (-)·H(2)O, is a hydrated mol-ecular salt in which the tartaric acid has transferred one proton to the (S)-2-amino-propan-1-ol mol-ecule. The crystal structure is stabilized by a three-dimensional network of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration was assigned on the basis of the starting materials.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
