ChemInform Abstract: Regioselective Synthesis of Amino Substituted Indazolo[2,1‐b]phthalazine‐triones and Pyrazolo[1,2‐b]phthalazine‐2‐carbonitriles Catalyzed by 2‐1′‐Methylimidazolium‐3‐yl‐1‐ethyl Sulfate.

Abstract

The regioselective reactions of luminol with 1,3-cyclohexanedione (or malononitrile) and aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by 2-1′-methylimidazolium-3-yl-1-ethyl sulfate were developed to synthesize 7-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-1,6,11(13H)-triones and 3,9-diamino-5,10-dihydro-5,10-dioxo-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-2-carbonitriles in good to excellent yields in short times.
