Ff. Abdellatif et al., SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL HETEROCYCLES THROUGH REACTION OF INDOLIN-2-ONE DERIVATIVES WITH ACTIVE METHYLENE AND AMINO REAGENTS, Archives of pharmacal research, 20(5), 1997, pp. 507-509
Several new spiro compounds were synthesized via one-pot ternary conde
nsation of isatin, malononitrile and each of thiobarbituric acid, barb
ituric acid, 3-methyl-pyrazolin-5-one, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-pyrazolin-5-o
ne, acetylacetone, benzoylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate, phenacyl cyanid
e or ethyl-cyanoacetate dimer. Structures and reaction mechanisms were
reported and supported via a second synthetic route.
