To gain insight to the mechanism of the reaction, we
performed few control experiments (Scheme 3). First we
treated isatoic anhydride (2b) with cyclopropylamine

amide [Scheme 3, reaction (1)]. Cyclopropylamine (3a)
was further treated with aldehyde 4 to form imine 5

[Scheme 3, reaction (2)]. However, no product formation
was observed, when isatoic anhydride (2b) was reacted
with aldehyde 4 [Scheme 3, reaction (3)]. The results of
the control experiments clear evidence to suggest initial
amide formation followed by imine formation and,
finally, aza-Michael addition and allowed us to propose
the reaction mechanism which is depicted in Scheme 4.

EXPERIMENTAL
All reactions were carried out in oven or flame-
dried glassware under an argon atmosphere, employing
standard techniques for handling air-sensitive materials.
All solvents were reagent grade. All other reagents were
used as received. Unless otherwise noted, reactions
were magnetically stirred and monitored by TLC on
Merck-Kiesegel 60 F plates. Flash chromatography
was performed on silica gel (230–400 mesh) using
distilled hexane and ethyl acetate. The yields refer to
chromatographically and spectroscopically pure com-
