Di-(S-3-chloro-2-oxy-propyltrimethylammonium)-R,R-tartrate 2, with optical purity of 81.76%, has been obtained. Compound 2 was characterized by IR spectroscopy, MS, NMR and X-ray diffrac- tion, and it crystallizes in orthorhombic, space group P212121, absolute structure parameter 0.56(8), with cell parameters a = 8.323(2), b = 10.203(2), c = 26.178(5) ?
