5. Chirality / Enantiomeric Excess / Problem 9

Consider a theoretical reaction designed to produce one enantiomer by excluding the other. If the difference in activation energies between enantiomer A and enantiomer B is 3.50 kcal/mol and enantiomer B has a lower activation energy, at what temperature would you produce enantiomer B in 99.0 % ee?
