The conformation of dimethyl (R,R)-tartrate has been analyzed on the basis of the single crystal X-ray diffraction method as well as by ab-initio quantum chemical studies. The results showed that the extended T conformation containing two planar hydroxyester moieties predominates in both ab-initio and X-ray studies. The lowest energy conformer in ab-initio calculations has C2 symmetry and hydrogen bonds between a hydroxyl group and the nearest carbonyl oxygen. The second in energetical sequence, with an energy difference of only 1.2 kcal/mol, is the asymmetrical conformer, which differs from the lowest energy form by the rotation of one of the ester groups by 180Ã‚Â°. Intramolecular OH...O hydrogen bonds observed in this rotamer again involve only proximal functional groups. This conformer is present in the crystal structure of the studied compound, although its conformation in the solid state is no longer stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the type mentioned above. In the crystal, hydroxyl groups are mostly involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonds and form only a weak intramolecular hydrogen bond with each other. The planar arrangement of the ÃŽÂ±-hydroxyester moieties combined with the extended conformation of the carbon chain seems to be stabilized by the intramolecular hydrogen bonds between neighboring functional groups and by the long range dipole-dipole interactions between two pairs of CO and (ÃŽÂ²)C-H bonds
