“…Phthalazinedione derivatives have been investigated for their wide range of natural activities and applications, which include anticancer, cardiotonic, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. 85 Rao and co-workers explored 86 a p -TSA (10 mol%) catalysed four-component single-pot synthesis of 2 H -indazolo[2,1- b ]phthalazine-trione derivatives by the reaction of an equimolar mixture of dimethyl phthalate, hydrazine, dimedone, and different aromatic aldehydes in water medium at 100 °C within a short period of time (Scheme 54). Here, the yield was not significantly affected by the substitutions of aromatic aldehydes.…”
