The invention discloses the process of racemization of enantiomeric (S)-nicotine with the use of metallic compound as catalyst. It can be achieved by the use of catalytic amount of catalyst or by forming of a complex with subsequent hydrolysis. The invention refers also to an isolation process of of pure recemic nicotine with the use of chromatography.Izum se nanaša na postopek racemizacije enantiomernega (S)-nikotina z uporabo kovinske spojine kot katalizatorja. To lahko dosežemo z uporabo katalitske količine katalizatorja ali tvorbo kompleksa z naknadno hidrolizo. Izum se nanaša tudi na postopek izolacije čistega racemnega nikotina z uporabo kromatografskih tehnik.
