racemicadj.

Brit.

/rəˈsiːmɪk/,

/raˈsiːmɪk/, U.S.

/reɪˈsimɪk/,

/rəˈsimɪk/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin racēmus , -ic suffix.

Etymology: < classical Latin racēmus raceme n. + -ic suffix, after French racémique (in acide racémique (printed acide racénique): J. L. Gay-Lussac Cours de chimie (1828) xxiv. 23).

Chemistry.

a. racemic acid n. a compound (originally obtained from the tartar in grape juice) consisting of equal proportions of the laevo- and dextrorotatory isomers of tartaric acid. Now chiefly historical.

1835 Rec. Gen. Sci. 2 97 The term racemic acid given by the French is preferable.

1876 tr. P. Schützenberger On Fermentation 7 It might be thought that..it resulted, like racemic acid, from the union of two active but opposed molecules.

1906 H. J. H. Fenton Notes Qualitative Anal. (new ed.) 121 Racemic acid is distinguished from ordinary tartaric acid by its higher melting point (about 206°c), its optical inactivity and the insolubility of its calcium salt in acetic acid or in ammonium chloride.

1955 B. C. L. Kemp Elem. Org. Chem. (new ed.) xiv. 201 One of the inactive tartaric acids (racemic acid) will be an equimolecular compound of the dextro- and lævo-forms, but what about the second inactive acid?

1997 R. Porter Greatest Benefit to Mankind xiv. 431 It was known that tartaric acid (a waste product of wine-making) and racemic acid had identical chemical compositions but different physical properties.

†b. racemic ether n. an ester of racemic acid; a derivative of racemic acid in which a hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl group. Obsolete.

1857 tr. G. J. Mulder Chem. of Wine xxiv. 306 Racemic ether and water, C⁸H⁴O¹⁰ + C⁴H⁵O, ²HO..will be found in wines containing racemic acid, although its presence also cannot be proved.

1868–77 H. Watts Dict. Chem. V. 39 Racemic Ethers. The only known compounds of this group are the acid racemates of ethyl and methyl.

2. Composed of laevo- and dextrorotatory isomers of a compound in equal molecular proportions, and therefore optically inactive. Also: relating to or involving such optically inactive mixtures.
