In the title N-alkyl isatin, C(22)H(33)NO(2), the isatin moiety is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.03 Å). The tetra-decyl substituent has all torsion angles in an anti-periplanar conformation.

The conjugated homobimetallic palladium(II) complex [(L1)Pd(qd)Pd(L1)] (qd = quinonediimine) was obtained in a one-pot reaction by the in-situ oxidative complexation of 1,4-phenylenediamine with the palladium(II) complex [(L1)Pd(MeCN)] (H2L1 = N,N'-bis(2-phenylethyl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide) while in the absence of an additional ligand [(L1)Pd(MeCN)] was converted to the amide-bridged macrocy...

Yb(NTf(2))(3)-catalyzed [3 + 3] cycloaddition between isatin ketonitrones and cyclopropanes is described. A variety of spiro[tetrahydro-1,2-oxazine]oxindoles were obtained in moderate to good yields along with good regioselectivities. This is the first example of the intermolecular [3 + 3] cycloaddition between ketone-derived nitrones and cyclopropanes.

The title compound, C(19)H(18)N(4)O(3) [systematic name: (RS)-1-benzyl-3-hy-droxy-3-(2-imino-3-methyl-5-oxoimidazolidin-4-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-2-one], was prepared as a racemate (RR and SS) by the aldol condensation of N-benzyl-isatin with creatinine in the presence of sodium acetate in acetic acid. The r.m.s. deviation of the isatin ring system is 0.033 Å. The benzyl group is disordered ov...

N-Substituted isatin derivatives were prepared from the reaction of isatin and various bromides via two steps. Bioactivity assay results (in vitro tests) demonstrated that some of these compounds are potent and selective inhibitors against SARS coronavirus 3CL protease with IC50 values ranging from 0.95 to 17.50 microM. Additionally, isatin 4o exhibited more potent inhibition for SARS coronavir...

Isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione) and its derivatives are responsible for a broad spectrum of biological activities. Among these the cytotoxic and antineoplastic properties have been the most widely reported. The synthetic versatility of the isatin, due to its privileged scaffold, has led to the generation of a large number of structurally diverse derivatives which include analogues derived from eit...

In the present work, some new 5-[2(3)-dialkylamino alkoxy] Indole 2, 3-diones were prepared from 5-hydroxy isatin. A mixture of 5-hydroxy isatin, dialkylamino alkylhalide in alcoholic potassium hydroxide was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours to get the 5-[2(3)dialkylamino alkoxy] Indole 2,3-diones. The structures of the products were characterized by IR, NMR, MASS Spectral studies. All th...

the ionic liquid, n,n,n,n-tetramethylguanidiniumtriflate (tmgtf) was found to be an efficient catalyst solvent for henry reaction between nitromethane and isatin derivatives to provide 3-hydroxy-3-(nitromethyl)indolin-2-one under mild conditions. the ionic liquid amenable to successive recycling without appreciable decrease in activity. synthesized compounds have been screened for their anti-di...

An isocratic analytical method based on liquid chromatographic determination with UV detection is described for the determination of isatin in spiked plasma and in its synthetic mixture. The separation of the isatin was achieved on a betasil C-8 column using a mobile phase consisting of a binary mixture of acetonitrile and buffer (Na2CO3 + NaHCO3). The linearity, accuracy and precision were fou...
