The two crystal forms for racemic menthol have melting points of 28 °C and 38 °C. Pure (−)-menthol has four crystal forms, of which the most stable is the α form, the familiar broad needles. Pure (−)-menthol has four crystal forms, of which the most stable is the α form, the familiar broad needles.
The first known racemic mixture was racemic acid, which Louis Pasteur found to be a mixture of the two enantiomeric isomers of tartaric acid.He manually separated the crystals of a mixture, starting from an aqueous solution of the sodium ammonium salt of racemate tartaric acid.
Kinetic resolution by synthetic means was first reported by Marckwald and McKenzie in 1899 in the esterification of racemic mandelic acid with optically active (−)-menthol. With an excess of the racemic acid present, they observed the formation of the ester derived from (+)-mandelic acid to be quicker than the formation of the ester from (− ...
This creates a 1:1 molar ratio of enantiomers and is referred to as a racemic mixture (i.e. contain equal amount of (+) and (−) forms). Plus and minus forms are called Dextrorotation and levorotation. [1] The D and L enantiomers are present in equal quantities, the resulting sample is described as a racemic mixture or a racemate. Racemization ...

In a kryptoracemic compound the chemical composition of the crystal is racemic although the crystal belongs to space groups in which all enantiomerically pure molecules have to crystallize. Crystallographically, in kryptoracemic compounds, the number of independent molecules in the asymmetric unit (Z′) is necessarily greater than 1 and should ...
