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[edit]
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.
Uses[edit]
Isatoic anhydride has been used as a precursor for the synthesis of methaqualone and related 4-quinazolinone-based pharmaceutical drugs, including:[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
