Novel hydroperoxidation of the α-position in pyridoxylidene-amino acid Schiff base–cobalt complex by hydrogen peroxide
Abstract
The reaction of pyridoxylidene-L-phenylalanine with CoII ion in the presence of H2O2 generates a novel CoIII ternary complex, [Co(pyridoxylidene-α-hydroxyphenylalaninato)(pyridoxylidene-α- hydroperoxyphenylalaninato)]–, which has been characterized on the basis of the analysis of its 1H NMR, positive-ion FAB MS and X-ray structure.
