Kinetic resolution is a process used in chemistry to separate and purify enantiomers, which are molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. This technique exploits the difference in reaction rates of enantiomers when they are subjected to a chiral environment, such as a chiral catalyst or reagent.
