2H-Indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-1,6,11(13H)-trione derivatives were synthesized in a simple and efficient method from the three-component condensation reaction of phthalhydrazide, dimedone, and aromatic aldehydes by H 3 PW 12 O 40 in ionic liquid in good to excellent yields and short reaction times. The ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF 4 ) offered the best results in terms of yield of the products. It was observed that a homogeneous reaction medium proved beneficial for the yield of the reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
