Formation of Ketimines from Aldimines in Schiff Base Condensation of Amino Acids and Imidazole-2-Carboxaldehydes: Tautomerization of Schiff Bases of Amino Acids Resulting in the Loss of Stereogenic Center

The Schiff base reaction of imidazole-2-carboxaldehydes with the anion of alanine, leucine and phenylalanine in the presence of nickel(II) ion gives the neutral NiL<sub>2</sub> complexes. The Schiff base ligand, L, binds through an imidazole nitrogen, N<sub>Im</sub>, the amin...
