Article Abstract
Mefloquine is an important drug for prevention and treatment of malaria. It is commercially available as a racemic mixture, wherein only one enantiomer is active against malaria, while the other one causes severe psychotropic effects. By converting the drug into a compound that crystallizes as a racemizable racemic conglomerate, the deracemization of mefloquine into the desired enantiomer was achieved.

Attrition-enhanced chiral symmetry breaking in crystals, known as Viedma deracemization, is a promising method for converting racemic solid phases into enantiomerically pure ones under non-equilibrium conditions. However, many aspects of this process remain unclear. In this study, we present a new investigation into Viedma deracemization using a comprehensive kinetic rate equation continuous model based on classical primary nucleation theory, crystal growth, and Ostwald ripening.

Enantiomeric purity is of prime importance for several industries, specifically in the production of pharmaceuticals. Crystallization processes can be used to obtain pure enantiomers in a suitable solid form. However, some process variants inherently rely on kinetic enhancement (preferential crystallization) of the desired enantiomer or on complex interactions of several phenomena (e.

Asymmetric synthesis was performed by combining the photochemical reaction of an achiral substrate followed by crystallization-induced deracemization. The results indicated that a fused indoline produced by photochemical intramolecular δ-hydrogen abstraction and cyclization of N-(5-chloro-2-methylphenyl)phthalimide crystallized as a racemic conglomerate. Since this substrate has an aminal skeleton, racemization involving a ring-opening and ring-closing equilibrium process occurred under suitable conditions.

The evolution of homochirality via attrition-enhanced deracemization (AED) of enantiomorphic solids is carried out using molecules that differ only in the isotopic composition of a phenyl group positioned remote from the chiral center. Enantioenrichment consistently favors the enantiomorph containing a deuterated phenyl group over the protio or C version, and the protio version is consistently favored over the C version. While these isotopic compounds exhibit identical crystal structures and solubilities, the trend in deracemization correlates with melting points.
