Abstract:

On the basis of the helix theory proposed by the authors,the relationship between sructure and rotatory direction is analyzed for the tartaric acid and glyceraldehyde.The results show that there is a close correlation between structure and optical activity in both compounds even if they can form many hydrogen bonds.

Key words: tartaric acid, glyceraldehyde, stereostructure, helix theory
