Vicinal (1)H--(1)H coupling constants were used to determine the conformational preferences of 2,3-dihydroxypropanoic acid (1) (DL-glyceric acid) in various solvents and its different carboxyl ionization states. The stereospecific assignments of J(12) and J(13) were confirmed through the point-group substitution of
