Which bond cleavage outcome occurs when heating a chiral drug?

💡 Explanation

Racemization occurs because thermal energy overcomes the activation energy for chiral inversion via bond rotation yielding a racemic mixture due to homolytic cleavage, therefore racemization rather than selective retention is observed above this theshold.
