Isatoic anhydride

Isatoic anhydride is an organic compound derived from anthranilic acid. A white solid, it is prepared by reaction of anthranilic acid with phosgene.[1]

Reactions

Hydrolysis gives carbon dioxide and anthranilic acid. Alcoholysis proceeds similarly, affording the ester:

C6H4C2O3NH + ROH → C6H4(CO2R)(NH2) + CO2

Amines also effect ring-opening. Active methylene compounds and carbanions replace oxygen giving hydroxyquinolinone derivatives. Deprotonation followed by alkylation gives the N-substituted derivatives. Sodium azide gives the benzimidazolone via the isocyanate.[2] Isatoic anhydride is used as a blowing agent in the polymer industry, an application that exploits its tendency to release CO2.

Isatoic anhydride has also been reported to be used as a precursor for the synthesis of methaqualone and related 4-quinazolinone based pharmaceutical drugs.[3]

gollark: I think the majority are on here too.
gollark: Not "mostly", it has 34ish members.
gollark: I disagree, mostly.
gollark: After not mentioning this in your campaign, if I remember right.
gollark: I don't know. I don't think it's a significant amount but I don't have metrics on how often:- there actually is something like that going on/obviously visible, and nothing else happening in non-off-topic channels people actually discuss esolangs in- this is likely to make someone who may otherwise be an active member not be (I'd expect this is driven by other things)
