Isatin - Isatin (English spelling)

Japanese: イサチン - いさちん(英語表記)isatin
Isatin - Isatin (English spelling)

A heterocyclic compound containing a nitrogen atom in the ring. It is also called 1H-indole-2,3-dione. It exists as an equilibrium mixture of lactam and lactim forms, which are easily interconverted. The lactim form is called ψ (psi)-isatin.

It is a yellow-red crystal that sublimates. It is slightly soluble in cold water, but is soluble in hot water and hot ethanol, but is poorly soluble in ether. It is hydrolyzed to isatinic acid when heated. It is used as an intermediate for vat dyes and as a detection reagent for silver and copper.
