Speeding up Viedma ripening,

Chemical Communications 52 (2016) 12048-12051

Abstract:

Viedma ripening allows the conversion of a solid state racemate into a single enantiomer. Using the gradual conversion of a metastable racemic compound into the conglomerate, the speed of deracemization for two amino acid derivatives could be considerably increased from several days to a few hours.
