Racemic Compound

racemic compound

[rə‚sēm·ik ′käm‚pau̇nd] (organic chemistry) Crystals containing an equimolar, random and ordered mixture of enantiomers (heterochiral crystals).

Racemic Compound

(also racemate), an optically inactive complex consisting of equimolar amounts of optical antipodes. The physical properties of a racemic compound differ from those of the constituent antipodes, and the synthesis of the compound from antipodes is accompanied by a release of heat. In a chemical synthesis in which a new asymmetric atom is formed, racemic compounds are usually obtained. Racemic compounds can be broken down into optically active antipodes by special methods (seeDIASTEREOISOMERS and ISOMERISM).
