Conservative estimates of direct and indirect costs of major depression in the United States resulting from the associated morbidity and mortality exceed 30 billion. Most of this cost is due to indirect expenses to society, such as decreased productivity and increased need for social services because of disability. In addition, there is the cost to family caregivers, the failure to advance in one s career or education, lost leisure time, and the pain and suffering endured by depressed patients and their families (54, 55).

Consider a sample of racemic 2-butanol at room temperature, prepared by hydrogenation of 2-butanone under achiral conditions.
