Abstract

An efficient method for the preparation of 6,7-dimethoxyisatin and its derivatives was developed with good yield by using Preyssler-type heteropolyacid (HPA) as acid catalyst under green conditions. The comparison between Keggin type heteropolyacids, H₃[PW₁₂O₄₀], H₄[SiW₁₂O₄₀] and H₄[SiMo₁₂O₄₀], H₃[PMo₁₂O₄₀] and mineral acids with Preyssler's anion shows that the latter possess better catalytical activity than the other heteropolyacids and no degradation of the structure was observed.
