Which outcome occurs when asymmetric synthesis uses chiral catalysts that alter reaction rate constants?

💡 Explanation

When chiral catalysts interact with reactants there is lowered activation energy. This changes individual rate constants for formation reactions, producing predominantly one enantiomer. Therefore enantiomeric excess results, rather than reduced yield, racemization, or increased energy, requiring achiral conditions or inhibition.
