Synthesis of potential anticonvulsants: condensation of isatins with acetone and related ketones.
Substituted isatins were condensed with acetone and other ketones to give analogs of 3-hydroxy-3-acetonyloxindole. Some of these alcohols were dehydrated. Several compounds with anticonvulsant activity were obtained.
