title: [Biologically active azomethines. Delépine reaction with 1-chloromethylisatin; preparation of some 1-aminomethylisatinazomethines (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors describe the synthesis of I-aminomethylisatin (3) from [I-chloromethylisatin] (1) by means of the Delépine reaction. On condensation with aromatic aldehydes, 3 yields the azomethines 5--7. The azomethine 5 is converted into the corresponding thiosemicarbazone 9. Testing for mitodepressive activity showed that the compounds 5--7 are active. On testing in vitro for tuberculostatic effects, the compound 9 proved exceptionally potent.
