Questão 16
Questão
When synthesising drugs, manufacturers often find that they make a racemate due to the chirality of the drug. The enantiomers can be hard to separate. For what TWO reasons is this a problem?
Responda
-
The enantiomers reflect polarised light in opposite directions
-
Enzymes are specific to optical isomers, so one of them is likely to be ineffective

-
Racemates are toxic
-
Laboratory reactions should never produce racemates
