✦ Synopsis
We tested the morphogenetic and cell elongating activity of 1,2-benzisoxazole-3-one, a compound similar to 1,2-benzisoxazole-3-acetic acid but lacking the lateral carbon chain. For comparison, we tested also the activity of indole 2,3-dione, having the same indolic ring as indole 3-acetic acid but no lateral carbon chain. The tests were made on the regeneration of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Miller var. Alice) from cotyledons and on pea (Pisum sativum L. var. Alaska) stem elongation. We found that 1,2 benzisoxazole-3-one retains part of the high shoot inducing activity of 1,2-benzisoxazole-3-aceticacid, while indole-2,3-dione is inactive. Both compounds have no effect on root induction or cell elongation. It seems therefore that the activity of 1,2 benzisoxazole-3-acetic acid is partly related to the structure of its ring, and that also in this respect 1,2 benzisoxazole-3-acetic acid differs from other auxinlike compounds.

## Abstract Lactone analogues of 3‐substituted oxindoles (=1,3‐dihydro‐2__H__‐indol‐2‐ones) and nonbenzoid oxa‐analogous isoindigoid or nonbenzoid isoindigoid dyes were prepared by the reactions of furan‐2,3‐diones with oxindole and __Lawesson__ reagent (__Schemes 1__ and __3__), respectively. So,
The present article reports our approach toward the synthesis of spiro compounds via indol-2,3-diones. Thus, reaction of indol-2,3-dione derivatives with a secondary cyclic amino acid, namely, (R)-(-)מthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, affords a thiazolo-oxazolidinone as the main product. When the re
