Selective Photo-Reduction of 1-Alkylisatins in Degassed Alcoholic Solutions

Abstract: A b s t r a c t -Irradiation o f 1-alkylisatins ( 1 ) in degassed alcohols afforded 1 -alkyl-3-hydroxyoxindoles ( 2 ) and 1-alkyloxindoles ( 3 ) as chemoselective photoproducts. The photochemical behavior of carbonyl groups of cyclic vicinal polyketones has received considerable attention in the last few years.' On the other hand, the photochemical reactions of heterocyclic vicinal diketones have also attracted interest from synthetic viewpoints.'Recently, it has been reported that photochemical reaction of

“…These derivatives are commonly synthesized from the reaction of the sodium salt of isatin with alkyl halides or sulphates 72,73 . Various methods for the preparation of this salt have been reported, and include the reaction of isatin with sodium hydride, either in toluene under reflux 74 or in DMF 75 . Other methods include the use of potassium carbonate in DMF 76,77 or in acetone 78 .…”

“…Amongst the methods for the reduction of isatin to dioxindoles are the uses of Zn/HgCl 2 in refluxing benzene 72 and Fe/HCl in aqueous ethanol 134 , as well as eletrochemical 135 and photochemical 75 reduction. NMethylisatin can be reduced to the corresponding dioxindole in quantitative yield by reaction with potassium tetracarbonylhydridoferrate (KHFe(CO) 4 ) 136 .…”

“…These properties are more fully detailed in the supplementary material.In nature, isatin is found in plants of the genus Isatis, in Calanthe discolor LINDL. and in Couroupita guianensis Aubl., and has also been found as a component of the secretion from the parotid gland of Bufo frogs, and in humans as it is a metabolic derivative of adrenaline [12][13][14][15] . Substituted isatins are also found in plants, for example the melosatin alkaloids (methoxy phenylpentyl isatins)obtained from the Caribbean tumorigenic plant Melochia tomentosa as well as from fungi: 6-(3'-methylbuten-2'-yl)isatin was isolated from Streptomyces albus and 5-(3'-methylbuten-2'-yl)isatin from Chaetomium globosum.…”

“…Biological properties of isatin include a range of actions in the brain and offer protection against certain types of infections. Isatin has anxiogenic, sedative, anticonvulsant activities and acts as a potent antagonist on atrial natriuretic peptide receptors in vitro [12][13][14][15] . A series of p-substituted Isatin semicarbazones have shown anticonvulsant activity in MES, scPTZ and scSTY tests.…”

“…Methisazone (N-methyl isatin-3-thiosemicarbazone) was found to be an effective compound against variola and vaccinia viruses and have also shown promising antimicrobial activity. The cannon ball tree possesses (Couroupita guianensis Aubl), antibiotic, antifungal, antiseptic, and analgesic qualities [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”
