3-Imino-2-amino-isatines were obtained by a one-pot reaction of an excess of aniline (or its derivatives) with 1,2-bis(dimethylamino)-1,2-dichloro-ethene (prepared in situ from DMF). Subsequent hydrolysis yielded the corresponding isatine derivatives in reasonable to high yields. DFT calculations with regard to the mechanisms of this reaction sequence are presented.
