Isatin is one of the most important derivatives of indole with significant bioactive scaffold, containing double adjacent carbonyls with an indole unit and a y-lactam moiety, which endows
isatin with an amount of interesting synthetic applications [5].
The synthetic strategy for the synthesis of imines 8a-g has been described in the Scheme 3, involves reaction of acid hydrazide 1 with thiosemicarbazide to give first on a product it is 1-((5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)methyl)-3H-benzo[f]chromen-3-one 7, which is considered as starting material for the synthesis of imines 8a-f and 8g by its reaction with substituted aldehydes or
isatin as shown in Scheme 3.
This plant gathers medicinal importance due to the presence of eugenol, fernesol, nerol, tryptanthrine, indigo, indirubin,
isatin, linoleic acid, [alpha]- and [beta]-amirins, carotenoids, sterols, phenolic compounds, rutin, quercetin, kaempherol, famaricetin, luteolin, saponin, alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins, triterpenoids, anthocyanin, flavonoids, steroids, anthraquinones, citric acid, tartaric acid, couroupitine, and pelargonidin glycosides [6-8].
