After doing some research on thalidomide for my A2 chemistry course I've learned some facts regarding the 2 optical isomers of thalidomide and their differences.
I've found that even if pure one optical isomer of thalidomide is injected into the body racemizing occurs and equal amounts of each isomer are produced.
I'm interested in why this occurs, as I've found little information on this on google.
Thanks for any help.
