Tartronic acid or 2-hydroxymalonic acid is an organic compound with the structural formula of HOHC(CO2H)2. This dicarboxylic acid is related to malonic acid. It is a white solid. It is produced by oxidation of glycerol:

HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH + 2 O2 → HO2CCH(OH)CO2H + 2 H2O

Glyceric acid HOCH2CH(OH)CO2H is an intermediate.[1][2]

Its derivative, 2-methyltartronic acid, is isomalic acid.[3]

Uses[edit]

Oxidation of tartronic acid gives the ketone mesoxalic acid, the simplest oxodicarboxylic acid.[4]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
