“…Heterocycles containing phthalazine moiety constitute as an important structural motif attributing to their pharmacological and biological activities [4,5]. Besides these they are endowed with anticonvulsant [6], cardio tonic [7] and vasorelaxant activities [8] and also comply as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antihypoxic and antipyretic agents [9]. Numerous protocols have been developed for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-1H-indazolo [1,2-b]phthalazine-1,6,11(2H,13H)-triones using p-TSA [10], ionic liquids [11], (S)-CSA [12], dodecylphosphonic acid (DPA) [13], heteropoly acids [14], Ce(SO 4 ) 2 Á4H 2 O [15], solid acids [16], montmorillonite K-10 [17], N-halosulfonamides [11], silicasulfuric acid [18], phosphomolybdic acid-silica (PMA-SiO 2 ) [19] as catalysts.…”
