The starting compound 1H-indole-2,3-dione on reaction with different substituted anilines formed the Schiff bases. The corresponding NMannich bases have been prepared by the reaction of the Schiff bases with diphenyl amine in the presence of formaldehyde. The chemical structures of the title compounds have been confirmed and elucidated by means of their physical and spectral data respectively. ...

Condensation of aromatic primary bis-amines with isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione) and 5-flouroisatin occurred cleanly and efficiently in a water suspension medium without using any organic solvent or acid catalyst. The corresponding bis-Schiff bases were obtained in good yields and were easily isolated by filtration. Their structures were confirmed by (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, IR and mass spectra.

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases and it is a leading cause of mankind death worldwide. Recent reports documented a remarkable antiproliferative activity of isatin nucleus against various cancer cell lines. The current work describes the antiproliferative activity of Schiff bases of combinatorial mixtures of the isatin derivatives M1-M22 as well as the individu...

Stable ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes having the general composition [Ru(CO) (PPh3)(py)(L)] (where L= bianion of tridentate Schiff bases (H2L, H2L and H2L)) were synthesized from the reaction of [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)2(py)] with bidentate Schiff base ligands derived from condensation of isatin with o-aminophenol / o-aminothiophenol / o-aminobenzoic acid. The new complexes were characterized by elem...

The complexes of tailor made ligands with life essential metal ions may be an emerging area to answer the problems of multi drug resistance. The coordination complexes of VO(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with the Schiff bases derived from isatin with 3-chloro-4-floroaniline and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde with 4-aminoantipyrine have been synthesized by conventional as well as microwave methods. T...

Sandal (Santalum album L) contains several interesting amino acids and amines which are not seen in other plants. This includes cis-4-hydroxy-l-proline in free form in leaves, flowers and seeds while trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline in bound form. Traces of 3, 4 dehydroproline is also detected in sandal leaves. Biosynthesis of cis-4-hydroxy proline indicates that hydroxylation taken place at proline p...
