Abstract

Many aromatic compounds containing the isatin moiety have interesting applications in biology, industry, and drugs. Synthesis of different forms of these scaffolds, with a glance to green chemistry, has been performed in water as the reaction medium. This review describes the water-mediated preparation of various aromatic compounds representing isatin derivatives.
