racematisk
Racematisk refers to a racemic mixture, which is an equimolar mixture of two enantiomers. Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. In a racemic mixture, the concentration of the (R)-enantiomer is equal to the concentration of the (S)-enantiomer. This means that for every molecule of one enantiomer, there is a corresponding molecule of its mirror image.
Racemic mixtures are typically formed during chemical reactions where a chiral center is created without any
Separating a racemic mixture into its individual enantiomers is known as resolution. This process can be challenging
