Dibutyl tartrate is a di-ester of tartaric acid and butanol.[1] It has been used as a chiral oil to separate enantiomers in chromatography.[2][3] Another use is in farinographs.[4] Yet another use is as a plasticizer.[5] The material is classed as "green" as it is made from natural products, and is biodegradable.[6]
Properties
[edit]The dielectric constant of dibutyl tartrate is 9.4[7]
