Conclusions
-
1.
The resolution of potassium D,L-bis-(N-salicylideneglycinato)cobaltate (III) with brucine was accomplished.
-
2.
The reaction of either the D- or L-forms of potassium bis-(N-salicylideneglycinato)cobaltate with acetaldehyde under the influence of bases leads to the asymmetric synthesis of threonine (45%) and allothreonine; the R-form of the amino acid predominates for the D-form of the complex, and the S-amino acid predominates for the L-form.
