This is what we were talking about. Isatin is very inexpensive. Good starting point?

Yes, but ideally you don't want to be isolating aldehydes. It's usually the case that they are derivatised with something else first to make them easy to purify/analyze. The devil's in that detail. We really want a B-H that does not give an aldehyde.
