| Application: | Isatin can be used as a reactant to prepare: • Phthalazinone derivatives. • Spirooxindole derivatives. • Agents against multidrug-resistant cells expressing P-glycoprotein. • Thiazolidinones spiro-fused to indolin-2-ones as potent and selective inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein tyrosine phosphatase B. • Triazole-isatine compounds as potential antibacterial and antifungal agents. • Biologically relevant scaffolds such as spiro[indole-thiazolidino It can be a reactant for: • Cascade reactions with heterocyclic ketene aminals. • Knoevenagel condensation reactions. Isatin can also be used as a chromatographic spray reagent for amino acids, and also as a reference material in the preparation of indigo and Maya Blue. It is responsible for the yellow color exhibited by the "Maya Yellow" pigment. |
| Application: | Isatin undergoes Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H addition by direct sp2/sp3 C-H bond activation to form 3-substituted-3-hydroxy-2 |
