-Alkylation of isatins can be achieved utilizing trichloroacetimidate electrophiles and a Lewis acid catalyst. These reactions provide access to -alkyl isatins, versatile scaffolds which are often employed in the synthesis of pharmaceutical lead structures as well as natural products. Secondary trichloroacetimidates that are precursors to stabilized carbocations provided excellent yields of the isatin product. Substitution was well tolerated on the isatin, although reduced reactivity was observed with C7-substitution, likely due to the steric effects. Solvent effects can be used to favor -alkylation under similar reaction conditions.

Inflammation is central to numerous diseases, highlighting the need for new anti-inflammatory agents. This study explores the potential of novel spirofused indoline-quinazoline hybrids (4a-p) as anti-inflammatory compounds, inspired by a spiroisatin analogue (VI) that showed modest TNF-α inhibition. We aimed to enhance activity by modifying the isatin scaffold: first, introducing N-alkylation (propyl, butyl, or isobutyl) to improve hydrophobic interactions within the TNF-α dimer active site; second, adding halogens (F, Cl, Br) at the 5-position to increase lipophilicity.

Cyclohepta[b]indoles, prevalent in natural products and pharmaceuticals, are conventionally accessed via metal or Lewis acid-mediated cycloadditions with prefunctionalized substrates. Our study introduces an innovative sequential catalytic assembly for synthesizing cyclohepta[b]indoles from readily available isatin derivatives. The process involves three catalytic sequences: ring-closing metathesis, catalytic hydrogenation, and acid-catalyzed ring expansion.

Two previously described Brønsted acidic ionic liquids, 3,3'-(1,6-hexanediyl)bis(1-methyl)-1-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate () and 1,1'-(1,6-hexanediyl)bis(pyridinium) hydrogen sulfate (), were used as catalysts for the preparation of spiro[furan-2,3'-indoline]-3-carboxylate derivatives via a three-component reaction of anilines, isatins (-alkyl-indoline-2,3-diones), and diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, in high yields. The use of ultrasonic (US) irradiation led to the targeted products (-) in high yields ranging from 80% to 98%. Under the same conditions, the use of sulfuric acid and acetic acid as a Brønstedt catalyst did not yield the desired benchmark product .
