Isatin is an endogenous compound isolated in 1988 [1] and reported to possess a wide range of central nervous system activities [2, 3]. Isatin is the biologically active chemical produced by an alteromones sp.strain inhabiting the surface of embryos of the cardiean shrimp palaemonmacrodectylus, which protects them from the pathogenic fungus lagenidium callinects [4]. Also isatin is the major MAO B (endogenous monoamine oxidase) inhibitory component of tribulin [5]. In some tissues and body fluids, isatin does account for the MAO B-inhibitory component, e.g. in cerebrospinal fluid. Schiff bases and Mannich bases of isatin were reported to possess antibacterial [6-8], antifungal [9-11], antiviral [12-14], anti HIV [15-17], antiprotozoal [18,19]. Another area of application of these Schiff bases is analytical chemistry where some of these compounds are used as ligand in complexometry topic [20]. In view of these facts we decided to synthesize a new Schiff base from isatin as potential biological and complexometric agent. It¡¯s biological activities and analytical works are under study.

 

                                         

 

Isatin 1 (2.00 g, 13.6 mmol) and 3,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether 2 (1.36 g, 6.8 mmol) were dissolved in 35 mL of warm ethanol containing 0.45 mL of acetic acid. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 18 h and set aside. The resultant solid was fitered and washed with ethanol. The pure Schiff base 3 was obtained upon recrystallization from ethanol (1.93 g, 91.5%).
