- In chemistry, an
enantiomer (/ɪˈnænti.əmər, ɛ-, -oʊ-/ ih-NAN-tee-ə-mər), also
known as an
optical isomer, antipode, or
optical antipode, is one of a pair...
-
mixture of the two
enantiomers in
equal parts is said to be racemic, and it
usually differs chemically and
physically from the pure
enantiomers.

contains one
enantiomer in
greater amounts than the other. A
racemic mixture has an ee of 0%,
while a
single completely pure
enantiomer has an ee of 100%...

sources produce one
enantiomer: the prin****l
industrial source,
citrus fruit,
contains (+)-limonene (d-limonene),
which is the (R)-
enantiomer. (+)-Limonene...

- is a
mixture that has
equal amounts (50:50) of left- and right-handed
enantiomers of a
chiral molecule or salt.
Racemic mixtures are rare in nature, but...

known as an
eutomer while the
undesired enantiomer is
known as the distomer. When
