Tartaric acid [HO_(2)CCH(OH)CH(OH)CO_(2)H] was an important compound in history of stereochemistry. Two naturally occuring forms of tartaric acid are optically inactive. One optically inactive form (P) has a melting point of 210- 212^(@) C and can be separated into two optically acitve forms, whereas other optically inactive form (Q) cannot be resolved further. Optically inactive form Q is
