Highlights

  • Isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione), first synthesized by Erdmann[1] and Laurent[2] in 1840, results from the reaction of indigo with nitric and chromium acids

  • We describe the synthesis of 11 isatin derivatives that were obtained in low to high yields

  • Comercial isatin was used as a starting material for bimolecular nucleophilic substitution and a click chemistry approach to develop all described chemical reactions

Summary

Introduction

Isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione), first synthesized by Erdmann[1] and Laurent[2] in 1840, results from the reaction of indigo with nitric and chromium acids. Ser[9] and Tyr[28] phosphorylation is a precondition for enzymatic action regulation since these residues control the gate of the substrate-binding site.[30,31] Ser[9] is an auto-inhibition site that inhibits the catalytic activity when phosphorylated This phosphorylation site is disordered in GSK-3β crystals and not identified in crystallographic information. Due to absence of a threonine residue, following phosphorylation of the serine residue, Ser[9], the GSK-3β N-terminal region binds to and blocks the catalytic site.[29,32] there is an important similarity between enzyme and apoenzyme structures, and the GSK‐3β protein crystallographic structure presented as a dimer with identical subunits. The infrared (IR) spectrum was recorded on a Bruker Tensor 27 FT-IR Spectrometer (Bremen, Germany), equipped with a Pike MIRacle attenuated total reflection (ATR) assembly with a ZnSe crystal, scanning from 4000 to 600 cm-1
