Temperature Cycling Induced Deracemization of p-Synephrine in the Presence of Degradation

The acquisition of enantioenriched organic molecules is crucial in processes where the enantiomeric purity of active ingredients impacts efficacy and safety. Temperature cycling-induced deracemization (TCID) can achieve deracemization, but its effectiveness can be hindered by degradation reactions that influence the kinetics and the achievable enantioenrichment. This work characterizes the impact of degradation on the dynamic development of enantiomeric excess during the TCID process for the
