RT Journal Article T1 Pasteur made simple – mechanochemical transformation of racemic amino acid crystals into racemic conglomerate crystals A1 Viedma Molero, Cristóbal A1 Lennox, Cameron A1 Cuccia, Louis A. A1 Cintas Moreno, Pedro A1 Ortiz, José E. AB Conglomerate crystallization is required for many deracemization or enantioenrichment protocols. Here, we report the metal-mediated mechanochemical transformation of racemic compounds of some proteinogenic amino acids – valine, leucine and isoleucine – into their corresponding conglomerates. Specifically, ZnO has the ability to promote and stabilize the conglomerate phase of these amino acids to an extent where the racemic compound is not observed.
