Optically Active Compounds Derived from Salicylaldehyde and Pyridoxal: Syntheses and Their Chelate Formation Properties in the Interaction with α-Amino Acid

Article abstract of DOI:10.1006/bioo.1993.1035

Synthesis of chiral compounds derived from salicylaldehyde and pyridoxal was carried out.In aqueous media containing copper ion, these compounds were analyzed to form Schiff base copper chelate spontaneously with α-amino acid.This complex formation process was reversed by the addition of EDTA.Application of the compounds to the resolution of α-amino acids are discussed.
