The Chemistry Of Isatins: A Review From 1975 To 1999

E-Book Overview

Isatins (1H-indole-2,3-dione) are synthetically versatile substrates, where they can be used for the synthesis of a large variety of heterocyclic compounds, such as indoles and quinolines, and as raw material for drug synthesis. Isatins have also been found in mammalian tissue and their function as a modulator of biochemical processes has been the subject of several discussions. The advances in the use of isatins for organic synthesis during the last twenty-five years, as well as a survey of its biological and pharmacological properties are reported in this review and in the accompanying supplementary information.

Pinto Departamento de Química Orgânica, Instituto de Química, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 21945-970, Brazil Isatina (1H-indol-2,3-diona) é um composto de grande versatilidade sintética, podendo ser utilizado na obtenção de diversos sistemas heterocíclicos, como derivados indólicos e quinolínicos, o que a torna uma importante matéria-prima na síntese de fármacos. Isatina também tem sido detectada em tecidos de mamíferos, o que tem despertado o interesse em seu estudo como modulador em diversos processos bioquímicos. Os avanços na aplicação de isatinas em síntese orgânica, bem como na compreensão de seus efeitos biológicos e farmacológicos, nos últimos vinte e cinco anos encontram-se relatados nesta revisão e seus respectivos materiais suplementares.
