Say 1-phenylethylamine with mesotartaric acid? I understand if I had a chiral agent I could get diastereomeric salts, but what, if anything, will form if I use an achiral agent?
If a salt does indeed form, wouldn't it still be diastereomeric? A mix of (R)-amine-(R,S)-acid and (S)-amine-(R,S)-acid compounds?
