! In a DKR, as with a classical KR, one enantiomer reacts slowly under the reaction conditions
! In a DKR, the rate of racemization of SM is fast relative the rate of the asymmetric transformation

! Thus, using DKR, possible to convert 100% of racemic SM to enantiopure product due to equilibrating racemization of SM
! How can we control the two processes: racemization and asymmetric transformation?
