Isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione) and its analog, are versatile substrates which acts as a precursor for large number of pharmacologically active compounds, thus having a significant importance in the synthesis of different heterocyclic compound.Isatin shows varity of biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, anticonvulsant, antiinflammatory and analgesic.This review focuse...

The synthesis and characterization of derived imines from 4-imino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzo thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-3(4H)-amine 3 has been developed in 3 steps through the reaction of heteroaromatic o-aminonitrile 1 with triethyl orthoformate afforded the corresponding imido ester 2 followed by cyclization with hydrazine hydrate to furnish iminothienopyrimidineamine 3 and finally the imination ...

Propargylamines are important intermediates for the synthesis of polyfunctional amino derivatives and natural products and biologically active compounds. The classic method of synthesizing chiral propargylamines involves the asymmetric alkynylation of imines. Here, we report a significant advance in the catalytic asymmetric Mannich-type synthesis of propargylamines through catalytic asymmetric ...

A number of N-arylmethyl substituted indole derivatives have been synthesized and their effectiveness against ADP and arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation in human plasma was determined. The desired compounds were synthesized by reacting the appropriate aniline derivative with isatin (or substituted isatin) to form the corresponding imine structures. The so formed compound was then act...

The annuloselectivity in the reactions of methanesulfonyl sulfene and imines varies with temperature. At a relatively higher temperature of 20 °C, the [2(s) + 2(i)] annulation of different N-alkyl imines occurs exclusively, giving four-membered trans-β-sultams in up to 69% yields. At a lower temperature of -78 °C, the [2(s) + 2(i) + 2(i)] annulation of N-methyl imines takes place specifically, ...

An efficient and mild methodology for rapid and efficient synthesis of isatin Schiff bases was described under microwave irradiation and solvent free condition.aromatic or heterocyclic Primary amines and isatin could be selectively reacted under microwave irradiation into the corresponding isatin Schiff bases in high yields and short reaction time.  

Highly enantio- and diastereoselective organocatalytic Mannich reactions of glycine Schiff bases with N-Boc-protected imines are described. Imines were generated in situ from bench-stable alpha-amido sulfones. Catalysis mediated by a cinchona alkaloid thiourea provided optically active alpha,beta-diamino acid derivatives with up to 99% ee and near-perfect diastereoselection.

Enamines and imines have long been recognized as key intermediates in enzyme catalysis, particularly within a class of enzymes organic chemists would very much like to emulate, the aldolases. Here we summarize the contributions of this laboratory to converting enzymatic enamines, and in some cases imines, into a versatile catalytic asymmetric strategy powered by small organic molecules.
