ltartaric

Ltartaric is not a standard term in formal chemistry or widely used among scientific dictionaries. In most contexts, the closest established reference is L-tartaric acid, one of the two enantiomers of tartaric acid. The concatenated form “Ltartaric” may appear as a typographical variant, a fictional or branding name, or a nonstandard shorthand in online discussions, but it does not designate a defined substance in peer‑reviewed literature.

Etymology and distinction: The prefix L (or levo-) denotes the levorotatory (left-rotating) enantiomer, while D (dextro-) denotes the right-rotating enantiomer. L-tartaric acid and D-tartaric acid are mirror images of tartaric acid and have distinct optical activities. In real chemistry, these enantiomers are well characterized, with L-tartaric acid occurring naturally and widely used in food chemistry (for example, as a component of tartaric acid salts), pharmaceuticals, and as a chiral auxiliary in synthesis.

Possible non-scientific usages: When encountered outside rigorous chemical literature, Ltartaric may be used as a fictional compound name, a project or brand, or a stylized reference to stereochemistry. In such cases, it should not be assumed to correspond to a real, independently defined chemical entity.

Summary: There is no recognized substance officially named “Ltartaric.” For accurate matters of stereochemistry and tartaric acid, the correct terms are L-tartaric acid and D-tartaric acid. If you see “Ltartaric” in a source, it is likely a typographical variant or a fictional/branding usage rather than a formal chemical designation.
