In chemistry, breaking a mirror isn’t always a harbinger of bad luck. Using a trio of catalysts and some blue light, researchers have transformed a racemic mixture of mirror-image molecules into a ...
Pharmaceutical process chemists use resolutions, or the separation of enantiomers from racemic mixtures, more than 60% of the time to generate chiral compounds. Among resolution methods, ...
Paper presented on July 10, 1952. See, for example, the exhaustive review by Bltchie, P. D., “Advances in Enzymol.”, 7, 65 (1947). Henderson, G. M., and Rule, H ...
THE separation of racemic mixtures of optical isomers is still limited, with rare exceptions, to the methods of Pasteur. For this reason the resolution of substances which seem identical in the ...
