“…Nevertheless, the prerequisite for a racemization step is a major limiting factor for applying Viedma ripening, and many attempts were made to overcome this bottleneck. Successful that resulted in complete deracemization were made through the combination of grinding with physical factors, such as temperature gradients [123], temperature cycling [124], chiral additives [125], UV-light [126], and continuous solvent exchange, with which the very important antimalaria drug Mefloquine was deracemized [127]. Moreover, Vlieg et al showed that Viedma ripening is also effective for obtaining a single enantiomer, not only for compounds with a single stereocenter, but also from a mixture of stereoisomers with two (or more) different stereocenters, in a process that should be preceded by epimerization of stereocenters, and crystallization of the most stable pair of enantiomers as a racemic conglomerate [128].…”
